Death's Courtship

2007

Death's Courtship Jory Strong Bryn's been called a shrink, a counselor, a ghost exorcist. Whatever the label, she's always believed in the rightness of using her unusual talent-the ability to see and communicate with disenfranchised spirits-to convince them to move on to whatever awaits at the end of the ghostway. Scary and sad, frustrating and fun, never has it been as real as it's become with Atticus at her side. When Death chooses the name Atticus Denali and goes to the human realm, his intention is to take a holiday from misguided souls, disenfranchised spirits and, well-from death. But he no sooner arrives than he meets his soul mate, Bryn. He could cast off the shell of flesh he's lobbied so hard to gain for his vacation. He could harvest Bryn's soul and take her home with him immediately. But Atticus elects to court her instead. Together they put a unique spin on the business of sending spirits on their way, all while discovering the delights to be found in pursuing La Petite Mort, the little death.

Divine Redemption

2010

While a standalone, Divine Redemption is a loose sequel to Death's Courtship. Their connection was instant, their attraction intense. Reincarnated souls reunited though neither consciously realize the depth of their bond. Temperance and Demetri love each other. Lust after each other. But a third waits, someone who will complete an already near-perfect union. Thanos wronged them in a previous existence and, as the mortal son of Dionysus, was punished for it by the Fates. He's had lifetimes to repent, eons to witness the rebirths and deaths of the two people who have come to mean everything to him. Now the Moirae have finally reunited the three of them, giving Thanos a chance to rekindle an ancient flame. For their part, Tempe and Demetri must choose him freely. While Thanos must avoid retracing old steps-and betraying his lovers once again.
