About this book

“Sweet and spicy and fabulous!”—ABBY JIMENEZ, New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly TikTok sensation Morbidly Yours, an opposites-attract romantic dramedy about a shy, demisexual Irish mortician who must marry by his 35th birthday to keep his beloved family business, and the Texan widow escaping her past who moves in next door. Falling for the wrong person? Bury your feelings.

Painfully shy Callum Flannelly would rather dive into an open grave than take a stranger to dinner. But he can only inherit the family undertaking business under one condition: He must marry before his 35th birthday. Texan animator Lark Thompson moved to Galway, Ireland, to restart her life and career, not be reminded of losing her husband by moving in next to a funeral home. But when she learns of Callum’s dilemma, Lark’s certain she can help him find The One, even if she’s sworn off love herself. Though as the dating project progresses and Lark spends more time with straight-laced, sarcastic Callum, he starts to crack the ice around her grieving heart. And the more joy that vivacious Lark brings to Callum’s grey existence, the less he can imagine letting her return to Texas. If they think they can ignore their connection, they’re dead wrong. “FIVE STARS. My favorite kind of rom com: funny, sexy, smart, and deeply emotional.”—Annabel Monaghan, national bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script “I laughed, I cried, I definitely swooned. Emotionally complex, wholly unique and absolutely wonderful!”— Marissa Stapley, New York Times bestselling author of Lucky
