Bonds of Death (Art of Death and Bonds of Death #2)
by Ana BoschSequel to Art of DeathFresh out of a messy breakup, starving artist Riley Burke has found happiness with Westwood, his new undead lover--enough happiness that when his friend Porter warns him that the undead only see humans as flashy playthings, Riley looks the other way. After all, he only wants a bit of fun. It's not like he's asking Westwood to put a ring on his finger. Once a brutal and violent criminal, Westwood now atones for his past by punishing the undead for crimes against humans. But his job doesn't make him popular with his undead brethren--and someone has a thirst for revenge. That someone has uncovered Westwood's weakness and is on the hunt. To withstand an attack, Westwood must bolster his strength by taking on a human worshipper. He turns to Riley, but Riley is terrified of the bond Westwood's ritual will create. He would rather risk his life pursuing Westwood's attacker than risk opening his soul to a man who doesn't respect him. But time is running out, and if Riley and Westwood can't come together, one of them might pay the ultimate price. Winner in the 2013 Rainbow Awards.Tenth (tie): Best LGBT Cover - Illustration
