Drop Dead Gorgeous

by Matilda Martel

Genre: Romance New Adult Paranormal

64 pages

Lavinia Graves has spent her entire life listening to other people’s thoughts.
Human minds are loud. Exhausting. Endless.
That’s why she left home at eighteen and moved to nearby Blackthorn Bay, where supernatural minds are quieter and the constant noise in her head finally fades into something she can live with. Now she spends her days running Belladonna Blooms, a charming flower shop specializing in funeral arrangements and sympathy bouquets.
But Lavinia has one unusual habit.
Whenever someone dies alone—without family, friends, or mourners—she attends the funeral herself, delivering flowers so no soul leaves this world forgotten.
That’s when he first notices her.
Thanatos.
Known around Blackthorn Bay simply as Grim, he has escorted souls into the afterlife since the beginning of time. Ancient, patient, and unseen by human eyes, Grim has long accepted his lonely existence.
Until Lavinia starts talking to him.
At first, she can only hear the strange voice lingering beside gravesites and funeral processions. But one rainy afternoon, after a particularly heartbreaking service, she finally sees the tall, shadowed figure watching her from beneath a black umbrella.
And suddenly, Death becomes impossible to ignore.
The more time Grim spends beside the warm-hearted florist, the more fascinated he becomes by her compassion, her stubbornness… and the way she looks at him without fear. Lavinia tries to hate him for what he represents, but Grim slowly shows her the truth:
Death was never the villain.
It was simply part of the journey.
But just as Lavinia begins to fall for the lonely immortal who walks beside her through cemeteries and moonlit funerals, Grim discovers a devastating truth.
Her time is running out.
And Death himself is willing to bargain with fate to keep the woman he loves forever.
