He has to marry by his thirty-fifth birthday. She&rsquo;s sworn off love&hellip; 
 
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 thirty-fith 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&rsquo;s dilemma, Lark&rsquo;s certain she can help him find The One, even if she&rsquo;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&rsquo;s grey existence, the less he can imagine letting her return to Texas. 
 
If they think they can ignore their connection, they&rsquo;re dead wrong.

Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly

Five stars. Morbidly Yours is my favorite kind of rom com. It&rsquo;s funny, sexy, and smartly written, while also being deeply emotionally resonant. Lark and Callum are characters you&rsquo;ve never seen before and that you&rsquo;ll never forget

Annabel Monaghan, bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script and Same Time Next Summer

Chloe Liese, USA Today bestselling author of Two Wrongs Make a Right

Offbeat and atmospheric, Morbidly Yours is the perfect escape for anyone who likes their romances to feature multidimensional characters, a cozy plot, and quick wit. It&rsquo;s utterly unique and I adored it

Paige Toon, Sunday Times bestselling author of Seven Summers

Ivy Fairbanks is the author of Morbidly Yours and a shameless consumer of rom-com books, hazelnut coffee, and Hozier music. Not necessarily in that order. Living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome has made her a believer in the importance of representation in romance. Fairbanks writes stories in which diverse and disabled characters find love, acceptance, and their happily-ever-afters. She lives in the Tampa Bay Area with her husband and son. At any given moment, she is probably trapped under a sleeping tabby cat.

A sizzling exes-to-lovers, second-chance romance from the author of TikTok sensation, Morbidly Yours!She doesn’t do second chances. But he's not done writing their song. 
 
Cielo “Lo” Valdez doesn’t believe in second chances. Surviving cancer at seventeen taught her life is too short to spend time on someone who wronged you. But Aidan O’Toole is determined to show her life is too long not to spend it together. 
 
When the tough-as-nails Texan moved to Galway for medical school, she wasn’t looking for love. Aidan, a gorgeous tattooed mandolin-playing lawyer, slipped past her defenses. They each fell hard and fast. But when Aidan was given the opportunity of a lifetime—to move to London and record an album—he took it, breaking Lo's heart. Yet more than two years and a successful album later, every song he writes is still about her, the one he let get away. And every time Lo hears his voice on the radio singing about love, it’s an arrow straight to her soul. 
 
Now they’re on a collision course as maid of honor and best man at Lo’s cousin’s wedding. Are some mistakes worth forgiving? Can Aidan convince Lo their song wasn’t meant to end?
