Retribution by Jessica Ruddick

Ava Parks' job as a seeker for the Grim Reaper is one she wouldn't wish on anyone. It's her responsibility to find souls with the potential to become angels. Last fall she learned the hard way that bucking the system has its own set of consequences, as her choices nearly killed the two people she cares about most--her mother and the boy she's come to love, Cole.

Now, Ava's mother is fading fast. Her former handler--and the root of her problems--seems set on revenge. And Ava must confess to Cole the price he has to pay for her saving his life--a decision he may never forgive her for.

Ava's path to retribution is filled with twists, turns, and a whole heap of heartache. As problems mount and push her to the breaking point, she's forced into the unthinkable, making her question everything she thought she knew about life, loyalty, and love.

Jessica lives in Virginia with her college sweetheart husband, two rowdy but wonderful rescue dogs, and two exuberant sons. It's a good thing she has a healthy taste for Marvel flicks, Nerf guns, and football because her house is brimming with testosterone. Jessica Ruddick's website is jessicaruddick.com.
