Leather & Ledgers by Crystal Nichols

Numbers don’t lie or make empty promises. That’s one thing Fiona is sure about. It’s why she kept her focus on the narrow path she had mapped out for herself…right until Bash crashes into her life, bringing a whole lot of chaos with him. He lures her out of her carefully crafted bubble, leaving her floundering in a world that no longer makes sense.

Bash is used to issuing orders and having them followed. As the VP of the Reaper’s Guard, he’s got enough on his plate without the trouble his annoying little sister keeps getting into. But when an owl-eyed girl swoops in to rescue her, Bash is taken aback by his reaction to her and the desire to draw her into his life— no matter that they’re from two different worlds.

Bash does things his way, and Fiona is used to taking care of everything herself. As they grow closer, the tension becomes impossible to deny.

When ghosts from the past start interfering in the present, Fiona has to decide if their relationship is worth fighting for, and if she can finally trust someone enough to let them in.
