Morbidly Yours: A Steamy Romantic Comedy by Ivy Fairbanks 

Callum Flannelly would rather dive into an open grave than take a stranger to dinner and a movie. But he can only inherit the family undertaking business and carry on their legacy under one condition: He must marry before his 35th birthday. So it’s out of the mortuary and into the dating scene.

Lark Thompson would rather get crushed by a falling anvil than live next to a funeral home during her stay in Galway, Ireland. The vivacious American cartoon creator and animator came here to embrace life, not be reminded of losing her husband.

When Lark learns of Callum’s dilemma and aversion to marrying out of necessity rather than love, she agrees to help the introverted mortician. But as the dating project progresses and their friendship grows, so does a mutual attraction. 

If they think it’s possible to ignore their connection, they’re dead wrong.

Twenty years ago, monsters rose on earth and began a new age of civilization.
