A Collection of Souls

Alyssa was damned the moment she met Beau. To Alyssa, Beau was a welcome escape from a failed college experience. He was everything she was attracted to: the dangerous type with a sense of adventure and a killer smile. It seemed that he wanted her just as badly. In reality, Beau was a soul collector owing a bounty of souls to the devil himself. Alyssa would have been just another soul had Beau not decided to sublet his debt to her. All he had to do was set up the moment when she would be asked to give up her soul to save him, and he knew she would, like all the others had. Alyssa is thrust into an immortal life as a soul collector; bound to the man that pretended to love her and forced to steal souls for him. She attempts to beat the system and take only souls that were already bound for hell but when her plan backfires, she succumbs to the realization that she has no choice but to steal innocent souls. After three years of collecting, Alyssa is overwhelmed by remorse and is dangerously close to losing her humanity and what goodness she has left. She has adapted to life as a collector and has even grown to care for Beau, despite what he'd done to her. Their collection of souls fuels them and spawns an addictive and toxic romance that serves as her only comfort while the guilt rages on and hellfire nips at her heels.
