Everything Caerus Thornton touches turns to gold... or dies. She's escaped death time and again, but those close to her aren't as fortunate. Caerus knows she's lucky to be alive, but wonders if the loneliness is worth the trade-off. Thanatos, god of death, has an almost flawless record until he encounters Caerus. For some reason, he can't fulfill the simple task of delivering death to the tiny blonde fated to die in the delivery room. Furious at his failure, the Fates exile Thanatos on Earth, where he must remain until he redeems himself in the eyes of his fellow gods. Somewhere along the way Thanatos finds himself falling for the woman he's spent more than two decades trying to kill.
