He has to marry by his thirty-fifth birthday. She’s sworn off love…
Painfully shy Callum Flannelly would rather dive into an open grave than take a stranger to dinner. But he can only inherit the family undertaking business under one condition: He must marry before his thirty-fith birthday. Texan animator Lark Thompson moved to Galway, Ireland, to restart her life and career, not be reminded of losing her husband by moving in next to a funeral home.
But when she learns of Callum’s dilemma, Lark’s certain she can help him find The One, even if she’s sworn off love herself. Though as the dating project progresses and Lark spends more time with straight-laced, sarcastic Callum, he starts to crack the ice around her grieving heart. And the more joy that vivacious Lark brings to Callum’s grey existence, the less he can imagine letting her return to Texas.
If they think they can ignore their connection, they’re dead wrong.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fairbanks's uneven debut sends bubbly Texan animator Lark to Galway, Ireland, for a nine-month animation project. She hopes the distance from home will help her through her grief over her husband's death. Lark initially thinks Willow Haven, the beautiful, ivy-covered building next door to her rental home, is a bed and breakfast—only to learn that it's actually a funeral home run by tall, dark, and deadpan mortician Callum, the third-generation owner. When Callum lets slip that his grandfather's will stipulates that Callum, 34, must marry by 35 or lose the funeral home, Lark offers to help him find a wife. Except the more she sees of shy, stuttering Callum, the less she can stand the idea of letting him get away. The setting is unique, and Fairbanks is admirably frank about death and grieving, but the pacing feels off and the sex scenes are oddly detached from the rest of the plot. What readers are told about Lark—that she wishes she could be bolder, for instance—contrasts sharply with how Lark actually behaves, barging into Callum's life (and his house) without qualms. Callum himself is an admirable hero, with impressive depths. Despite its flaws, this will appeal to readers who don't mind some death in their "til death do us part."
