The Mercenary and the Mortician (The Silent Hollow, Book 1), by Alexandra St Pierre | Free Audiobook

Death brings them together

Callum Walker has made peace with what he is: a mercenary who kills for a living. His boss hands him names, and Cal makes them disappear. But in his spare time, he hunts predators who hurt children, delivering the kind of justice the law will not touch. He is good at his work, efficient, and dangerously impulsive. What he is not good at is dealing with feelings, especially when they involve a certain neurotic mortician who keeps showing up in his life.

Ryan is methodical, cautious, and has built a quiet existence around preparing the dead for their final rest. He likes routine, order, and keeping his distance from chaos. Then Cal walks into his funeral home with a body that should not exist and a grin that refuses to fade, no matter how many times Ryan tells him to leave. The problem is, Cal does not leave. He keeps coming back with more bodies, more questions, and a stubborn determination to crack through Ryan's walls.

Narrated by Alexander Cendese and Zachary Zaba, the audiobook captures the push and pull between a grumpy mortician who craves stability and a sunshine mercenary who thrives in chaos. As the paranormal world of Silent Hollow pulls them deeper into its mysteries, Cal and Ryan must decide if opposites can not only attract but survive the darkness closing in around them. Because in a town where death is currency and secrets run deeper than graves, falling in love might be the most dangerous thing either of them has ever done.
