When meticulous undertaker Alister Graves is hired to evaluate the abandoned Briar Hollow estate, he expects dust, decay, and forgotten secrets. What he does not expect is a sealed coffin in the cellar - and certainly not the silver-eyed vampire who awakens inside it.
Spade, who insists on being called Kat, sealed himself away decades ago to escape ruthless hunters. He intended to wake in a familiar world. Instead, he rises into the modern age - confused, displaced, and face-to-face with a mortal whose pulse he can hear from across the room.
Alister is rational, composed, and devoted to preserving dignity for the dead. Kat is centuries old, dangerously charming, and far too amused by how easily the undertaker blushes under his teasing attention. Forced into close quarters above the funeral parlor, their uneasy arrangement slowly transforms into something neither of them planned.
As hunters resurface and immortality looms like a shadow between them, Alister must decide whether love is worth the cost of eternity - and Kat must confront the fear of losing another mortal heart to time.
Darkly romantic, atmospheric, and tender beneath its gothic edge, Velvet Coffin Hearts is a story about devotion beyond death, longing that defies centuries, and the quiet, powerful choice to love - even when forever is on the line.
