\"Servants<\/a><\/p>\n

As servants of Fate, Father Time\u2019s sons must sacrifice a mortal\u2019s lifetime on behalf of humanity before each year ends. It\u2019s simpler if they don\u2019t get involved, as their immortality is a barrier to relationships and to understanding the emotions of those whose lives end in a blink, especially if these time holders have a hand in it. Servants of Fate pass in and out of the lives of those around them, never interacting, until a different type of fate steps in. They can stop time, but love will leave them powerless.<\/p>\n

Father Time\u2019s son, Zeit Geist, must sacrifice a mortal\u2019s lifetime to the Fates each New Year\u2019s Eve. Last year\u2014inexplicably, really\u2014he made an 11:59 substitution. The Fates are pissed and they\u2019re after his mortal Hannah. With the year ending, he ought to figure out why he\u2019d saved her\u2014and why he keeps doing it.<\/p>\n

Following an unlucky year, Hannah Lyons needs a week\u2019s holiday in a lodge to unwind. What she gets is near-death experiences and a sexy immortal who can\u2019t avoid kissing her, but might have to kill her. After all, even Zeit can\u2019t hold back time indefinitely.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tempus fugit. Time flies\u2026unless you\u2019re Tempus Halt, Father Time\u2019s son. Day in and day out are the same, except for New Year\u2019s Eve when he steals the life of a mortal on behalf of the Fates. This year marks his first failure to stay the monotonous course. A mortal\u2019s kiss and her insistence on taking the place of his year\u2019s sacrifice stalled out everything. Now, Tempus has to keep her alive for a year so his sacrifice isn\u2019t wasted, but that\u2019s the only reason\u2014definitely.<\/p>\n

One of these crazy grim reapers stole Lacey Carpenter\u2019s estranged father\u2019s life two years ago. She\u2019ll give her own life rather than letting it happen again. It backfires when Tempus doesn\u2019t actually kill her, and they have to spend the year together. She\u2019s falling for an immortal who stops time, not just to save her life, but also to ruin her dates and steal her books. This can never work and fate is just not on her side\u2014in fact, they\u2019d really like her dead before Tempus falls for her in return.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"KeepingTime500x750\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When Ruin\u2019s mortal sacrifice to the Fates on New Year\u2019s Eve is already dying, it should be the easiest life he has to take, but not this year. The dying man knows Ruin is there to kill him, but he asks Father Time\u2019s son to look after his twin sister. Ruin can\u2019t stay away from the sweet and sensual Phoebe. His previous interactions with women changed the definition of his name, Ruin, so he can\u2019t fall for her, especially when the lovely mortal doesn\u2019t know he killed her brother.<\/p>\n

Phoebe\u2019s brother promised to send her a guardian angel, but Ruin seems too devilish to be holy. He only wants to be friends and keep watch over her, but she can\u2019t resist him. Loving Ruin is a sin tempting her heart. How wrong is it to cause an angel\u2019s fall? Ruin and Phoebe\u2019s time is running out as another New Year\u2019s Eve sacrifice approaches, and Ruin might lose everything for keeping his true hand in fate secret.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

About Wendy Sparrow:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"WendySparrow-08\"<\/a>Wendy\u2019s first forays into fiction earned her time-outs, punishment, and \u201chow many times have I told you the Boy Who Cried Wolf story?\u201d But, she persevered. She\u2019s stubborn like that. Now, all her stories have a happily ever after and the lies are sexier and more elaborate. Sometimes, they even contain wolves. (Ha, mom! So there!) She\u2019s active in OCD and autism communities and writes on her blog to support awareness in both. If she’s not writing or wrangling kids, she’s on Twitter, @WendySparrow, where she’ll chat with anyone about anything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
