Seven Graves

<p><strong><u>THE MORTICIAN</u></strong></p><p></p><p>I've always known I was different.</p><p></p><p>My name is Seven Grey and I hang out with dead people. Yes Seven like the number and yes...literal dead people. I'm the only mortician in a small town tucked away in backwoods Maine and I've known this was my dream job since the day they asked us on our first day of Kindergarten. I know who I am and I don't apologize for it. Death is just different for me. Which is why my second job works even better than my first.</p><p></p><p>They call me The Cleaning Lady.</p><p></p><p>People die. It's just a part of life. How certain ones die is none of my business and I don't ask questions when I work for bad people for ludicrous price tags making their dirty deeds disappear like they never happened. They call I clean I leave.</p><p></p><p>...So how did I end up being the center of attention for the heir to the Irish mob with the threat of accessory to murder charges hanging over my head? Well...that's a story worthy of small town gossip.</p><p></p><p>Malek Byrne is the most deranged annoying ridiculous...<em>beautiful</em>...persistent...pain in my ass. I rue the day he inserted himself into my life. But he's just about impossible to resist not just because he forces a smile that hasn't been part of my dark wardrobe in years...but because he refuses to leave me the hell alone.</p><p></p><p>He drops bodies...I clean them. It should be that simple.</p><p>It's not.</p><p>He's got a list as long as my name and I've saddled up for a ride I can't get off of...</p><p><em>...Even if I wanted to...</em></p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>Morally Gray FMC and MMC</strong></p><p><strong>Forced Proximity</strong></p><p><strong>Deranged Golden Retriever x Black Cat</strong></p><p><strong>He Falls First</strong></p><p><strong>Frenemies to Lovers</strong></p><p><strong>Touch Her and Die</strong></p><p><strong>Stalker Romance</strong></p><p><strong>Ridiculously Dark Humor</strong></p><p></p><p></p>
