White Roses for the Underworld Clerk

Description： Adrian Blackthorne has no use for human prayers. As a ghostly official of the Underworld Bureau and the keeper of a forgotten shrine, he has spent countless years dealing with lingering obsessions, broken souls, and the endless paperwork of the dead.

Then Nora Whitaker arrives in the snow.

Poor, exhausted, and barely nineteen, Nora is working herself to the bone while caring for her frail grandmother, Margaret. Again and again, she kneels before Adrian's empty altar and offers pieces of her own life in exchange for Margaret's recovery. Adrian tells himself it has nothing to do with him. Mortals suffer. Mortals die. That is simply how the world works.

But Nora keeps coming back.

Drawn first by curiosity and then by something far more dangerous, Adrian slips into her life as Shadow, a stray black kitten, and later as the cold, sharp-tongued man who refuses to leave her unprotected. He pays her hospital bills, guards her from cruelty, tutors her for the college entrance exams, and learns the strange warmth of late-night meals, clean blankets, and a girl who still believes in tomorrow.

Yet supernatural law is not forgiving, and Adrian was never built for love. To give Nora a future, he may have to risk the only existence he has ever known. Author Biography： Vivian Hayes creates passionate love stories about desire, secrets, and the lengths we go for love.
