Each new day is sweet, but Knowing they’ll have to return home to Wylder Wood come autumn - and say goodbye to their southern gentleman forever - makes Cas wonder if falling in love is worth the risk.
Desperately in love with the moon-eyed mortician and eager to please, Cane is determined to break down Cas’ walls. but when he discovers the haunting truth behind his partner’s penchant for the paranormal, he realizes that life as he knew it will never be the same. The coffin maker must decide if giving up his first true home after years of hardship is worth it for an eternity with the mysterious grim reaper who stole his heart, and his choice sets off a chain of events that will change the Wylders, and their beloved town, forever...
