Seven Graves (The Mortuary Misfits Series Book 1)

She didn't expect to fall for the infuriating man standing between her and everything she's worked for—especially not in a place that smells like formaldehyde and fresh roses.

When Nora Calloway inherits half of Blackwood & Sons Mortuary from an uncle she barely knew, she arrives expecting a quick sale and a clean exit. What she finds instead is her co-inheritor: the insufferably competent, maddeningly handsome Eli Blackwood, who has dedicated his entire life to this funeral home and has absolutely zero intention of letting some outsider sell it from under him.

They can't agree on anything. Not the business. Not the unconventional staff who treat the morgue like their personal sanctuary. Not the seven mysterious grave markers tucked behind the property that shouldn't exist according to any official record. And certainly not the undeniable pull that crackles between them every time they argue across a preparation table.

But secrets buried deep enough have a way of surfacing. As Nora and Eli unravel the truth behind those seven graves, the line between enemy and ally—between professional rivalry and something terrifyingly tender—begins to dissolve in ways neither of them planned.

Some people find love in coffee shops and bookstores. Nora and Eli find it in the most unlikely place imaginable.

The real question isn't whether they'll give in to it.

It's whether the truth they uncover will let them survive long enough to try.
