When a Louisiana gravedigger unearths his high school crush literally clawing her way out of a freshly dug grave on Valentine's night, he knows this reunion isn't going to be ordinary—especially when someone's actively trying to kill her. Emma's got questions about who wanted her dead and why, but she's also got unfinished business with the annoyingly hot Noah, and their chemistry is somehow even more electric the second time around. As they dodge murderous family conspiracies and dodge actual danger, these two discover that some flames never really go out—they just need the right moment to reignite. If you love dark humor mixed with swoon-worthy romance and don't mind a little danger with your Valentine's Day love story, this steamy rom-com is absolutely calling your name.
Reading soundtrack
Dark, sultry indie and alternative pop with sensual R&B undertones. Think moody atmospheric production, electric tension, and raw passion—perfect for forbidden chemistry, second chances, and danger lurking beneath desire. Artists like The Neighbourhood, FKA twigs, and Cigarettes After Sex vibes.
