Amelie Bellerose is a mortician with a dark secret. She is a soul eater, a rare type of necromancer who consumes the souls of the dead to sustain her own life. For years, she has lived in the shadows, hiding her true nature from the world and working in her family's funeral home to stay close to her food source. But when a dangerous and handsome mercenary named Kade shows up on her doorstep with a dead body and a proposition, her carefully controlled life is thrown into chaos. Kade is a member of the Guild, an organization of supernatural assassins and mercenaries. He knows what Amelie is, and he needs her unique abilities for a job. In exchange for her help, he offers her a fortune and protection from the Guild's enemies. Reluctantly, Amelie agrees, and the two are thrust into a deadly mission that takes them into the heart of the supernatural underworld. As they work together, Amelie finds herself drawn to Kade's strength and ruthlessness, while Kade is fascinated by Amelie's power and the vulnerability she tries so hard to hide. But in a world where trust is a liability and betrayal is around every corner, they must navigate their growing attraction while staying one step ahead of their enemies. The Mercenary and the Mortician is a dark, steamy paranormal romance full of action, magic, and forbidden love.
