About this book
Miranda is a former soldier and single mother who lives by a simple code: execute the mission and survive. When the Grim Reaper tasks her with killing the immortal god locked in his basement, she expects a straightforward assignment. Instead, she finds Xander, a chaotic deity whose immortality is a curse and whose presence is a magnetic, dangerous distraction. Every night, she drives a blade into his chest; every night, he returns, turning their lethal dance into an impossible, electric seduction.
This gripping paranormal shifter romance masterfully blends high-stakes action with deep, emotional healing. Caught in a forced-proximity nightmare, Miranda and Xander are two tortured souls who find the missing pieces of themselves in one another. As the historical weight of ancient powers begins to surface, the line between predator and prey blurs, forcing them to confront a connection that threatens to unravel the world.
Fans of intense, character-driven narratives will be hooked by the jagged chemistry and the desperate stakes of this duet. It is a haunting, visceral journey about finding love in the wreckage of eternity. If you are searching for a story where gods collide with mortal grit, look no further than this unforgettable Vegas Immortals installment.

They are here to heal each other. Miranda an ex-soldier, single mom, security guard and tasked to kill a god by the Grim Reaper. During her nightly task she is secretly falling in love with this god.

This book ties into the Vegas Immortal series and I am so ready for more. )
