    About this ebook

    A sexy Angel of Death had to tell me I was dead. But he wasn’t there to offer comfort. He was there to take me to the other side. Wherever that is. I wasn’t ready to go, though. My nephew, Joey, needed my bone marrow if he was going to survive, but I wasn’t sure how I was going to give it to him now that I was dead.

    Grayson, the angel, told me he’d help but then I’d have to cross over. I certainly didn’t expect to fall for the one being that intended to hustle me across the mortal realm. I don’t think he expected to fall, either. You’d think that would be difficult enough, but the real trouble began when I discovered his ‘help’ came at a price...or a punishment, rather. He’d broken a rule, and for that, he would suffer if I couldn’t stop it.

    So here I am in love with the Angel of Death, trying to save my nephew’s life, and wondering what exactly happens on this other side Grayson talks about. And learning more and more that I didn’t want to leave my angel any more than I wanted to stay dead. Sometimes, though, life just doesn’t give you choices.

      To my family. Without you, I wouldn’t be on this journey. Thank you for making me a better person and for the years of encouragement, love, and support. You’re all my heroes!

      Chapter One

      A cold stainless steel table beneath my very naked ass brought me awake. This didn’t bode well. My eyes wide, I lay on back and stared at absolutely nothing since a cotton sheet covered my face.

      I clawed it away, and, with wide eyes, searched my surroundings. Realization sank in. I hadn’t just woken up cold and alone; I’d woken up in a morgue! I struggled to sit up, the sheet falling to my waist.

      Perfect. I was naked. I guess that’s what happens when people think you’re dead. Someone didn’t learn to take a pulse very well. I was very much alive and more than a little pissed off.

      I swung my legs over the side of the table, and my head began to swim. What the hell was going on? Determined to get up and find some clothes, I tried to stand. I say tried because my legs gave way and then things got even stranger. I began to float, well, not all of me. I just had the sensation of floating, sailing above my body and into the air. And I could see my sheet-covered body still lying on the table. Only I wasn’t in it. That scared the hell out of me. Actually, terrified would be a better word.

      I couldn’t remember what had happened. Okay, I vaguely recalled walking home from my yoga class. I had been hustling because I was going to the hospital to visit my twelve-year-old nephew, and visiting hours had already started.

      Pieces of my memory started to return. It had been raining so I picked up the pace, half-heartedly jogging. I crossed the road where I always did, at the corner of East Bay Street and Church Street. My apartment was located above a law office inside one of the older buildings on Church Street—an unusual space, granted, but I had gotten a steal of a deal on the rent.

      Forcing myself to focus, I tried to cross my arms, but nothing would connect. Now, fear clawed at me, and if I’d had a real body, I would have run screaming from the room. But no, I was stuck in limbo because I had…I didn’t want to say the words, not even to myself.

      Okay, now I remembered that just as I stepped off the curb, a big, black SUV came barreling out of nowhere. I tried to step back. I thought I had. Then nothing. No pain. No feeling. Absolutely zilch. So had the damned SUV hit me?

      As I watched myself, the swinging doors opened, and a fresh-faced girl wearing a lab coat and sneakers walked into the room. She carried a clipboard, and her brown ponytail swung gaily as she approached the table where I lay.

      I didn’t want her to touch me, but I found my voice wouldn’t work anymore than my body did. The girl peeled the sheet down, and I winced. Oh my God, I was blue. Not Smurf blue, but a grayish blue that told me much more than I wanted to know.

      I gulped. What was the girl doing? She moved down to my feet, and then I saw the toe tag. If I’d been capable, I probably would have thrown up. The ever cheerful young adult wrote down a few things on a piece of paper attached to her clipboard and whistled her way out of the room.

      Hey! She didn’t cover me back up. Wasn’t she supposed to do that? Wasn’t that how it was supposed to be done, or had all the medical shows I’d watched been wrong?

      I felt like I needed to take in a deep breath, but I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t feel. Couldn’t stand. As much as I hated to admit it, I was dead, and I couldn’t even cry.

      Now, what do I do?

      You come with me.

      The deep voice had my ethereal body spinning in mid-air. I managed to right myself so I could face the owner of the voice then immediately wished I hadn’t.

      Dressed all in black, the man—if one could call him that since he was hovering instead of standing—held his position in the air several feet away from me. Arms folded, expensive leather shoes dangling, he tipped his head to one side with a kind of regal air. You are Erica Raynard, aren’t you?

      Could I say no? Something told me I didn’t want this guy to know who I was. Before I could reply, he came forward so suddenly, I shrank back.

      What are you doing? My voice came out on a squeak.

      He stopped, met my gaze with a glare. It’s your time, Ms. Raynard. He spoke slowly as though he
