Mourner For Hire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798999127907)

A dark romantic comedy about death, forgotten pasts, and unfinished business.

Vada Daughtry is a professional mourner. For a fee, she'll cry at your funeral, whisper invented memories, and spin tales of heartbreak. It's a job that keeps her moving-and keeps her past buried.

But when a wrong turn leads her to a roadside bar and a mojito-soaked night with bartender Dominic Dunne, something shifts. Then she vanishes, like she always does.

Nearly a year later, Vada shows up at a funeral... and realizes the deceased is Dominic's mother.

Now he's grieving, furious, and stunned to learn Vada's been left a generous piece of his mother's estate. He knows what she does for a living. He thinks it's all a con. Vada wants to slip away quietly-again-but the late Annabelle Dunne has other plans: haunting Vada until she completes a list of posthumous demands, starting with renovating her crumbling seaside cottage.

Drawn back to the coastal town of Shellport, Vada and Dominic are forced to confront the truth-about the past, about each other, and about a ghost of a woman who isn't done pulling strings.

Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers tension, slow burns, and ghost stories with bite.
