Early June 2003, Massachusetts Twenty-three-year-old Shiloh Duval has never had much use for ordinary life. Divorced and raising her eleven-year-old niece alongside her ex-husband, she survives by juggling archaeology work, odd jobs, and whatever off-the-books assignments pay enough to keep the bills covered. Across the state, Bodhi Ferreira is having a considerably worse week. A third-year resident at Massachusetts General Hospital, the twenty-something half-demon has barely returned to work when a group of bodies from the Plymouth excavation arrives with medical abnormalities that shouldn't exist. When his investigation brings him into Shiloh's orbit, the two discover that their cases are connected by a mystery buried beneath the Massachusetts coast. A missing girl with pink hair, a family photograph recovered from a monster's corpse, barefoot tracks disappearing into underground tunnels, ancient symbols carved into stone, and something that seems determined to follow its victims wherever they run. Neither Shiloh nor Bodhi has any intention of becoming heroes. Unfortunately, the dead have other plans. As monsters begin appearing in places they shouldn't exist and an ancient force stirs beneath the New England wilderness, Shiloh and Bodhi are forced to confront a mystery involving forgotten folklore, demonic creatures, impossible deaths, and secrets that have survived for centuries. Narrated by the Devil himself, Dead Men Don't Take Holidays is a supernatural folk-horror romance about death, family, destiny, morality, and two deeply flawed people who discover that surviving the supernatural may be easier than surviving each other.

Beau Kingsley prefers tools over people, quiet over chaos, and fixing things over talking about feelings. While his brothers run the family business empire and Hollywood, Beau keeps to himself-content running his dad's old hardware store and staying out of the spotlight. Lily Carter is sunshine in human form-sweet, chaotic, and freshly heartbroken. She's also Beau's younger brother's best friend and assistant... and has known the Kingsleys since she was a kid. When a burst pipe floods Lily's apartment, she ends up crashing in Beau's guest room-just for two weeks. But close quarters, late-night heart-to-hearts, and one too many shared pancakes make it a little harder to ignore the feelings they've both been hiding for years. He's grumpy. She's sunshine. And their story? Might just be built to last. Part of the "Collide Into Ruin" Universe
