Main Character Energy
Andi Callahan prefers the quiet company of the dead.
As a morgue tech in a sleepy coastal town outside Boston, she lives for silence, predictability, and zero small talk.
Living people? Too loud. Too messy. Too nosy.
The dead don't interrupt her, meddle in her life, or flirt with her.
Cole Hartley does.
He's everything Andi avoids-charming, persistent, and entirely too good-looking for his own good.
The town's beloved firefighter-paramedic has a hero complex the size of Massachusetts and a dangerous talent for cracking Andi's ice-cold composure.
What starts as a harmless bet to make her smile turns into something neither of them saw coming. Now Cole's determined to prove that life is worth the mess-and that love might be the riskiest, most rewarding thing of all.
Funny, heartfelt, and impossible to put down, this opposites-attract romance asks what happens when a woman who's made peace with solitude finally lets herself feel everything.
Perfect for fans of quirky slow-burns, grumpy-sunshine, spicy banter, enemies to lovers, and one very determined golden retriever in human form.
