Seven Graves (The Mortuary Misfits Series Book 1)

About this book

Seven Grey is a small-town mortician in backwoods Maine who has always felt more comfortable with the dead than the living. While she maintains a professional facade by day, she leads a lucrative, clandestine double life as a “cleaner” for the criminal underworld, making messy crime scenes disappear without a trace. Her carefully controlled life spirals into chaos, however, when she finds herself in the crosshairs of the Irish mob—and specifically, the heir to the empire, Malek Byrne. Malek is a ruthless, unhinged, and persistent force of nature who refuses to let Seven fade into the background. As they are forced into proximity by a web of mounting legal threats and mob violence, the dynamic between the sharp-tongued mortician and the lethal mobster shifts from wary tension to an irresistible, volatile attraction. Featuring a “deranged golden retriever meets black cat” dynamic, this dark, humorous romance leans into tropes like forced proximity, stalker-esque obsession, and a classic “he falls first” trajectory. As Seven and Malek navigate a landscape of high-stakes violence and dangerous secrets, they find that their dark worlds might just be a perfect fit. If you enjoy gritty, witty, and unapologetically twisted love stories, this is a must-read.
