Accidental Necromance

Oliver Chen-Goldstein has perfected the art of talking to dead people. Living ones? Not so much. Between his mother's constant matchmaking attempts, his father's academic expectations, and the crushing pressure of medical school, chatting with cadavers during his late-night lab sessions is the closest thing he has to a social life.

Then he accidentally resurrects Chase Sterling - Instagram fitness influencer extraordinaire, self-proclaimed lifestyle guru, and quite possibly the most attractive corpse to ever grace Ollie's examination table. Now his carefully organized life of studying and avoiding his parents' dinner parties has been thrown into chaos by a very alive, very cold, and very homeless former corpse who needs a place to stay.

Ollie's problems now include:
• Hiding a reanimated influencer in his tiny studio apartment
• Translating the ancient Egyptian scroll that started this mess
• Keeping his very attractive "patient" within observation distance
• Explaining why he's buying designer clothes on his emergency credit card
• Learning to share a twin bed with someone who's technically still dead
• And most importantly: trying not to fall for the gorgeous guy who keeps stealing his socks for warmth
