Headstone's Honor

She honors the dead with flowers. He puts them in the ground.

Grace Ellison inherited Ellison's Flowers from her mother—a shop where grieving families find beauty for their worst moments and forgotten graves get tended by hands that still care. When a smuggler decides her delivery routes would make perfect cover for his cemetery dead drops, Grace does what her mother taught her.

She refuses. To his face.

Headstone spent eight years learning every cemetery in Queens before the Gotham Reapers recruited him for his expertise in making problems disappear into consecrated ground. He knows where the soil drains, which plots won't be disturbed, and how to make death look like peace. He doesn't do soft. Doesn't do feelings. Doesn't do anything but fill graves and honor the forgotten.

But the florist who talks to headstones like the dead can hear her—the one who tends graves that families abandoned and cries over strangers' children—is being hunted. And Headstone's been watching her for three years, falling for a woman who didn't know he existed. Now someone's threatening to destroy her, and he's done staying in the shadows. She honors the dead the way he does. That makes her his.

Now a smuggling operation is burning everything she built, his compound is under assault, and the florist with the steady hands and the unbreakable spine is wearing his ink. Grace is about to learn that some men kill to protect what's theirs—and Headstone's about to discover that the right woman can teach a gravedigger what it means to finally feel alive.

His woman. His to protect. His to keep.

Headstone's Honor is a full-length, standalone MC romance with a possessive alpha hero, a heroine who never backs down, and an HEA. No cheating, no cliffhanger. This is Book 10 in the Gotham Reapers series.
