Hayden Harlow was formerly the god Hades in the underworld until he was kicked out, and now he is a mortal man and works at a funeral home. He is a loner, always keeping to himself. When he meets Levi Wilder, a local florist, things start to change with him. Hayden now has to decide if he can trust Levi and the mortal world as it is, and Levi must put away the pain he has been going through. In order to be together and be happy, they both must open their hearts and forget about their pasts. This is a heartwarming, original story that will touch your heart by the time you finish reading it. With passionate scenes, and a chemistry that is off the pages, this is a perfect gay rom-com.
