There are worse ways to die than by falling in love.

Grey Jean-Marcelin has given up on life. Not even his fame as renowned artist "The Grey" can ease the mental health issues destroying him from the inside out. Yet when a failed suicide attempt brings the man known only as Saint into his life, he'll enter into a Faustian bargain that will challenge not only his will to live...but his will to die.

Saint is a man like no other. A leanan sidhe, a cursed fae surviving by draining vitality from his chosen prey—and it's Grey's love that will feed his life. The temptation of Saint's lips, of his strange and alien beauty, is undeniable. The offer he makes is irresistible.

And if Grey has to bargain with a devil to die, at least it's one who ignites him with a heat, a hunger, a need he'd thought he'd forgotten how to feel.

Yet their contract never accounted for star-crossed fate—or for the impossible idea that Saint could love a mortal with a desperation bordering on pain. When one must die so the other may live, their dread pact may snuff the desire, the love, the blood-bonded heartache between them before it has a chance to grow.

Or together, they can make a choice...and discover no one's heart is shatterproof.
