Death Dealer
by Ashley RobertsonPublication: Obsidian Publishing (June 30, 2013)
ASIN: B00DQ1J9PW
Length : 93 pages
Genre : Paranormal Romance
Book Description:
Death: a word Mia Baron was all too familiar with since the murder of her parents when she was a young girl. Her drive for vengeance was the reason she became a Death Dealer—a soul guide through the spirit realm—signing her life away in her own blood. Pain forged a concrete wall around her heart and no one or nothing would ever penetrate it…until she got what she desired most—revenge. Deacon Gage craves justice for his own horrific tragedy that forced him into the same life Mia chose, with the same promise of vengeance dangling just out of reach. His expert training makes him an Elite—one of the few Death Dealers to ever achieve such a status—and no one can shift his focus from the blood he seeks. But when the two are partnered for yet another job and a heart-shattering case rips open Mia’s heart, Deacon realizes he’s the only one who can save her…at a price that might be too much to pay: opening his heart to her. The clock is ticking and her life hangs on the balance of whether he can truly let go or will hold onto his desire for blood.

Mia materialized back into her physical body, her skin a light shade of tan as if the sun had gently kissed it, but it wasn’t the sun that had given her that color—it had been her father’s half-Mexican lineage mixed with her mother’s small percentage of native Indian, which also gave her high cheekbones, brought her height to five and a half feet, and there was a touch of a widow’s peak centered above her brow and sweeping back to the luminous chestnut waves that fell behind her shoulders and landed in the middle of her back. After swiping her palms down the thighs of her black leather pants, she leaned over the bed and carefully slipped the remote from the old woman’s boney grip—a hand that was once so much younger with smooth, creamy skin now uneven with bumps and raised veins that looked like blue tunnels beneath the paper-thin surface of her flesh, fingers once elongated and beautiful now with a crooked arch and swollen, rounded knuckles that her gold wedding band would never be able to slip over. A lump barreled its way up Mia’s throat as she set the remote on an end table that was littered with used tissues and plastic cups of half-filled water before focusing her attention back on the old woman. Bending over and stretching her body so her lips were closer to the old woman’s ear, Mia whispered, “I love you, Grandma,” the strain in her tone evident in the soft sound of those words.
It still stung deep in Mia’s heart that she had been unable to make it during most visiting times, which were inconveniently between the hours of ten in the morning and four in the afternoon, and because of that, she’d always wondered if by chance things had been different, her grandma would’ve remembered who she was just one more time while still alive. Four years ago, Alzheimer’s had stolen away Mia’s beloved grandmother, yet the old woman’s body remained a fragile shell to the soul that resided within.
And now Mia was here to collect it—just like all Death Dealers did.
Though she had a hunch her grandma’s soul would gleam bright white, the color that indicated the path of the Light Gate, she would only know for sure after it separated from the host body—the delicate human shell that belonged to the woman she loved like a mother.
