Stripped of his godhood, he now runs Harlow and Sons Funeral Home - a front for his eternal sentencing among mortals, and a bleak reminder of the purpose he‘s lost. Still, he‘s determined to claw his way back . . . if only the Fates at City Hall would stop toying with him. Enter Levi Wilder: a florist with an artist‘s heart, an infectious smile, and a gift for finding beauty in life‘s messiest moments. When Hayden storms into Levi‘s shop to complain about a bouquet of sunflowers, their worlds collide. Hayden is all restraint and shadows; Levi is all sunshine and charm. But beneath the clash lies an undeniable spark neither can ignore. As their connection blossoms, Hayden finds himself caught between the life he once knew and the bright future Levi dares him to imagine. But trusting Levi means risking the walls he‘s kept in place all these years . . . and one choice can change everything. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ READERS CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF DEARLY DEPARTED ‘The equivalent of a really solid hug‘ ¿¿¿¿¿ ‘Full of queer joy and laughter‘ ¿¿¿¿¿ ‘A swoony and spicy romance‘ ¿¿¿¿¿ ‘An unputdownable delight‘ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ FANS CAN EXPECT Queer joy Found family Grumpy god x Sunshine loverboy Paranormal romance Shadow daddy Small town
