Courting Death: A Why Choose, Paranormal Romance
Some girls have a type. Hers just happens to be death.
Iliana always felt adrift. Jobless. Alone. Now, haunted by the recent death of her parents, she sleepwalks off a rooftop and is caught by Thanatos, the god of peaceful death, only to discover a terrifying truth: an ancient curse has been hunting her family to extinction, and she’s the last one left.
Thrust into the treacherous world of the gods, Iliana becomes the unwilling ward of four divine beings from competing pantheons as she races to break an unbreakable curse. Thanatos offers her peace she’s never known, as his brooding twin, Hypnos, guards her sleep. Anubis refuses to let her see herself as helpless, as Hermes reminds her she deserves to live.
As training turns to stolen kisses, Iliana faces an impossible truth: her heart refuses to choose between them.
When the Fates reveal a prophecy tying their destinies together, her survival doesn’t just matter to the gods falling for her. It matters to the entire world. Ancient monsters are closing in, someone wants her bloodline extinct, and the gods are watching her every move.
Iliana must break a curse that’s claimed generations while navigating falling for four impossibly powerful gods who refuse to make her choose.
But her survival? That’s not guaranteed.
What Readers Are Saying
★★★★★
“This book hooked me IMMEDIATELY. The opening alone was enough to make me sit up and go “ohhh this is going to HURT.” The mix of grief, mythology, humour, and tension was done SO well, and somehow this book managed to be emotional, hilarious, chaotic, and hot all at the same time.”

-
I wrote a book where Death is ordered to protect a grieving woman.
He didn’t want to.
He hadn’t cared about a mortal in centuries.
Grief wasn’t his problem. Loss wasn’t his concern.
Death was neither cruel nor kind.
It simply was.
But then he stood outside her window and heard her talking to her mother.
Something he had buried for centuries… shifted.
He told himself it was duty.
He was wrong.
