He has the keys to save her...and me.
When I get the news that my cat Melody is dying, I know there's nothing I can do but watch her suffer...
Until one night I wake up to a hand reaching for me from inside a tomb.
Oliver St. James should not be alive, but he is here and begging me to get him out of the mausoleum that's been his prison for the past twenty years.
I will?with one condition: he has to tell me how he came back to life.
The problem is that he doesn't remember what happened to him, and his family has put their millions behind keeping it a secret.
Press-backed lies, bought silence, NDAs.
All to pretend their heir never existed.
The more time I spend with nerdy, charming Oliver, the less I understand what he could've done for his family to hate him like they did.
And the more pieces of the puzzle I find, the more scared I get of the price I will have to pay to save Melody.
Tied to Life is an MM monster romance with a trans main character, a couple of nerds falling in love, lots of angst, and bad science. Though best enjoyed as the third book in the Monsters of Brimrey Island series, it can be read as a standalone and has a HEA. Check out the rest of the series for more queer characters finding love in this small town on a haunted island.

Autorentext
Vee Debras (they/them) grew up in an isolated, creaky-floored house in the mountains. They spent their childhood staring at a dark corner of their tiny room, terrified that the demon lurking there would try to possess them.
In an unexpected turn of events, they became a queer monster romance writer.
Vee is obsessed with love and community, so of course hurt/comfort is their favorite flavor of story?life will hurt you, but the people who love you have your back.
When not going tap tap tap on their keyboard, you can find Vee enjoying a horror movie or the latest seasonal anime. Or maybe gazing out to sea while listening to Hozier (and crying about it, probably).
