A Waltz with Lord Death — Sydney Winward

Lord Death kills everything he touches, and worse, each day, he loses more control of his power. He has to find a replacement for Life before it's too late, but in order to transfer Life's power to another host, he must first kiss them to exchange a breath. No one has survived his deadly kiss. Meira Abrams is determined to rise above her humble beginnings and doesn't have time for relationships, especially with a mysterious man who refuses to tell her his name. Nevertheless, she is drawn to him and his incredulous offer...but can she really trust him? When he meets Meira, he is not only in danger of losing control of his power, but his heart as well. But is a smooth, shifty fortune teller really the best option for the job? And is she strong enough to accept his kiss of Life without losing her soul?
