Kit & Basie

Immortality is a dangerous affair when it isn't done right.
-
Basie Yeats knows he's doing immortality all wrong, spending endless days in the same place, but he doesn't see a reason to leave the home he loves in Long Lily, Pennsylvania. Once the impossible death of his mother leaves him the only immortal person he knows, Basie decides that the only thing he wants to do is get out of Long Lily and start doing immortality the right way-alone.

Kit Elliot has wandered the world looking for the right place to call home, so when a church-turned-cottage suddenly goes up for sale in a quaint Pennsylvania town, it feels like it was meant to be. It takes only a few days at Wellhead Cottage for Kit to decide that the man who sold it to him is frustrating, awkward, and terribly handsome. He offers to help Basie find a new home away from Long Lily-but as days turn to months, Kit finds himself wishing he could make Basie stay.
