order to love Death, you have to be willing to give it all, with no future, no past, nothing but a deep, velvet now. That kind of complete surrender, and triumph, can provide the ultimate satisfaction. Small things no longer matter—destiny is in force now, and the real world slips away.
For a woman to accept Death as her lover, she has to be very brave, selfless, loving.
For Death to succumb to human weakness, to a human female, he has to be willing to risk everything, as well. Human emotions are foreign, and dangerous. But Death, like his true love, is willing to chance it.
The happy ending for such a union is, of course, bittersweet. But the greatest victories are always so. Prepare to take a dark ride on life's most fascinating amusement park attraction. Death, and its polar opposite, love. And the mesmerizing union the two create.

About Anne Stuart
Anne Stuart is a grandmaster of the genre, winner of Romance Writers of America's prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award, survivor of more than thirty-five years in the romance business, and still just keeps getting better.
Her first novel was Barrett's Hill, a gothic romance published by Ballantine in 1974 when Anne had just turned 25. Since then she's written more gothics, regencies, romantic suspense, romantic adventure, series romance, suspense, historical romance, paranormal and mainstream contemporary romance for publishers such as Doubleday, Harlequin, Silhouette, Avon, Zebra, St. Martins Press, Berkley, Dell, Pocket Books and Fawcett.
She’s won numerous awards, appeared on most bestseller lists, and speaks all over the country. Her general outrageousness has gotten her on Entertainment Tonight, as well as in Vogue, People, USA Today, Women’s Day and countless other national newspapers and magazines.
When she’s not traveling, she’s at home in Northern Vermont with her luscious husband of forty years, an empty nest, five sewing machines, and when she’s not working she’s watching movies, listening to rock and roll(preferably Japanese) and spending far too much time quilting and making doll clothes because she has no intention of ever growing up.
