A riveting story about a charismatic billionaire, Charlie Dern, who leads a Gatsby-like lifestyle and hopes to escape the sting of death. He wants his last days to be filled with excitement and strikes a deal with his hospice nurse, Anne Jones, to assist him in finishing his bucket list and giving him the best death ever. In return, he offers to pay off her mortgage and 60,000 dollars. If she completes the bucket list, she will inherit his mansion and $6 million. Anne is skeptical and wary of men. Struggling financially after her ex drained her savings account, she accepts Charlie's offer. She is a beautiful and innocent thirty-two-year-old with midwestern values, while Charlie is an eighty-two-year-old with a sharp and cunning mind, having lived a glamorous life and consistently achieved his desires. The allure of a paid-off mortgage and $60,000 convinces Anne that she has made the right decision, even as she quits her job at Serenity Hospice and moves into Charlie's opulent mansion. Edward, the butler, regards her with suspicion, believing she is after Charlie's money, and the peculiar twin housemaids ignore her as they pass by, communicating only with each other. The scent of old, yellowed letters tucked away in a closet hints at Charlie's ominous past filled with deceit and desire. A ghost, Daisy, Charlie's long-deceased love from over fifty years ago, haunts the hallways.
Charlie's love for danger turns his bucket list into a thrilling ordeal, further intensified by his old mob ties. It's a clandestine and perilous venture to reclaim the remaining fortune-six million dollars and the mansion-Charlie's promise to Anne if she stays until the end. Lies and betrayal lurk around every corner. The greatest threat is Gray, Charlie's nephew, who tempts Anne with a seductive offer that sparks romance and adds a sizzling edge to this dangerous and exhilarating story.
