REAP & REPENT
by Lisa Medley
BLURB:
Ruth Scott can read
the energy of every person she meets. Then she meets Deacon Walker. She can see
his ice-blue eyes, his black hair, and his gorgeous face. But this beautiful
stranger has no aura.
Deacon is just as
unsettled by Ruth—and, having spent more than two hundred years ushering souls
to Purgatory, Deacon is seldom shocked by anything. As he helps Ruth to
understand her true nature, she awakens desires that he decided long ago a
Reaper can’t afford.
A demon invasion
forces Deacon to confront the darkness in his own past even as he fights to
save the human souls he’s charged to protect. When he’s taken captive, his
first concern is for Ruth. But Ruth just might be able to save herself—and the
Reaper she can’t live without—if she can learn to wield her newfound powers.

EXCERPT:
“I want answers. In the hospital, I
sensed something about you when we met… Your mother was Mary Scott. Correct?
She died in that hospital room while you were there?”
“I didn’t do that. It wasn’t my
fault,” she blurted out.
“Okaaay,” he proceeded cautiously.
“Did you touch her before you left?”
She considered him, her mouth going
dry. She had touched her. She’d given her that final kiss on the forehead.
“Yes,” she whispered.
Ruth couldn’t look at him as she
began to realize what all of this might mean. Had her bizarre handicap really
killed her father, and now her mother, too?
She was a killer.
“You’re not a killer,” he said,
rolling his eyes.
“I thought you couldn’t read minds!”
She sobbed, tears choking her throat closed.
It’s my fault. I AM a killer.
“You’re not,” he insisted. “I think
you’re a reaper, like me.”
Her heart starting beating faster
and her vision started to go blurry around the edges. The whole room sped down
a black chute into darkness. She was going to pass out. She was going to pass
out with a strange supernatural man in her house.
God help me.
