Morbidly Yours




The perfect mix of 'sweet and spicy' (Abby Jimenez), this is an opposites attract, friends to lovers rom-com that TikTok readers can't get enough of!

The unmissable TikTok sensation! The perfect opposites attract, grumpy x sunshine romance to fall in love with this summer.

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.

About the author

Ivy Fairbanks

Ivy Fairbanks is a shameless consumer of rom-com books, hazelnut coffee, and Hozier music. Not necessarily in that order. Living with chronic pain has made her a believer in the power of fictional escapism and happy endings. She lives in the Tampa Bay Area, Florida, with her husband and son. At any given moment, she is probably trapped under a sleeping tabby cat.

Praise for Morbidly Yours

Sweet and spicy, cemetery adjacent with Dolly Parton vibes. Ivy Fairbanks is a fabulous addition to the romance genre!

Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly

Five stars. Morbidly Yours is my favorite kind of rom com. It’s funny, sexy, and smartly written, while also being deeply emotionally resonant. Lark and Callum are characters you’ve never seen before and that you’ll never forget

Annabel Monaghan, bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script and Same Time Next Summer

Adorable! Morbidly Yours is equal parts playful and poignant, as satisfyingly spicy as it is sweet. I dare you not to fall in love with Lark and Callum, an endearing, quirky grumpy/sunshine pairing who couldn’t be cuter

Chloe Liese, USA Today bestselling author of Two Wrongs Make a Right

Offbeat and atmospheric, Morbidly Yours is the perfect escape for anyone who likes their romances to feature multidimensional characters, a cozy plot, and quick wit. It’s utterly unique and I adored it
