"A narcoleptic demon and a human medical examiner meet in a morgue," sounds like the start to a punchline, not a love story. Who says it can't be both?
When Absylom Inoré wakes in a body bag, the last thing he expects is to fall head over tail for the M.E. preparing to perform his autopsy. Oscar ‘Doc’ Herrera is everything Abi could ever want but never believed he could have, not with his complicated baggage, crippling anxiety, and tendency to fall comatose at the slightest provocation. But in Doc’s firm, caring hands, Abi discovers the safety he’s spent years searching for and the strength he never knew he possessed.
At thirty-nine, Doc is content with his simple life of jazz records, build kits, red wine, and tending to the dead to ensure no one is forgotten. That is, until he unzips a cadaver bag to reveal a not-so-dead demon twelve years his junior who’s determined to paint his monochrome world multicolor. As a human raised in the Hell dimension, Doc’s never been anyone’s first choice, but if Abi’s relentless pursuit proves anything, it''s that he knows what he wants and what he wants is Doc.
Death brought them together, but will life keep them apart? Or will Abi and Doc discover that, sometimes, the safest place to land is the last place they expected—autopsy rooms included?
Join Abi, Doc, and the rest of the eccentric staff of The Passing Through Cafe in this laugh-out-loud LGBTQ+ urban fantasy rom-com, full of found family, sweet stalking, morgue meet-cutes, and a gentle love that heals a multitude of scars.
