Curse of the Royal Reaper, #1

Publish Date:

Publisher:

Ghost Girl Publishing

Synopsis:

Two rival reapers. A century of overdue souls. Revelations sure to crumble foundations.

Raven Gunn blamed herself and the cheat she used on her last job for her team’s assignment to the cursed reaping. Her father even packed the tool responsible for the cheat in her travel bag, silently suggesting the need, while reminding her not to trust her designated coreaper, Chace Badden. A hundred years of accumulated reapings, a prohibited reaper-tool, her born rival tasked as her partner… What could go wrong? She definitely wouldn’t allow Chace’s good looks to compromise her focus. Not. One. Bit.

Chace Badden suspected family connections were to blame for his team’s assignment, and he trusted nothing about the current reaping task. Especially not the Fae bastard showering Raven with unnecessary attention. That pr*ck needed to go. Raven was his coreaper and the pretty boy held no claim. Of course, the same could be said for Chace given Raven was his coreaper and his rival, professionalism and distance needed to remain steady between them.

But as more complications arise and old ones intensify, will Chace and Raven’s rivalry cloud emotions, hinder task success, and pave the road for, not only failure but, something far more concerning than mortal danger? Because the overwhelming number of unreaped souls is turning out to be the least of their worries.

Reaper’s Quest is the first book in an adult romantasy series that grows spicier with each book, while containing dark themes that may be uncomfortable for some readers. This series is ideal for fans of:

•Slow Burn & Tension (with plenty of action)

•Angsty, Trapped, Morally Gray Hero

•Forced Proximity

•“Who did this to you?”

•Multiple POV

      

*Excerpt*

Before I could push myself off the ground, the guy who had bulldozed me jumped to his feet and offered me his hand. 

“We don’t get many strangers visiting our fine citadel.” He glanced up the street to Chace and Mr. Aldine then turned his attention back to me and grinned. “You’re actually the first I’ve had the pleasure of running into. Quite literally. I’m Winter, at your service.”

“Do you do this often? Knock females over with such gusto?”

“Only when I feel undeniably attracted to them.”

I blinked and, catching my mouth hanging open, snapped it shut. 

“In truth, you would be my first.” He pressed his hand closer, emphasizing his offer. 

“Saying I’m your first is basically implying you intend to do this again.”
