Reaping the Benefits

Morgan Ashworth's work for Death comes with an unusual perspective on love: immortality has given her ample reason to fear the pain of losing someone. As Head Minion, she has learned to keep her duties and feelings under control. Jane Smith unsettles that balance when an afterlife questionnaire becomes the starting point for a bargain involving her unfinished wishes. Among those wishes is an attraction to Morgan that cannot be handled like an ordinary administrative problem. Their arrangement brings questions of intimacy, vulnerability, and time into Morgan's carefully managed existence. This paranormal workplace romance follows two women whose connection challenges the emotional defenses built around a job concerned with life's final boundary.
