Kit & Basie by Tess Carletta is a cozy contemporary fantasy romance set in the small town of Long Lily, Pennsylvania, where magic and the supernatural quietly shape everyday life. Basie Yeats, an immortal who has never left his hometown, is shaken by his mother’s inexplicable death and resolves to finally abandon the place he loves. Kit Elliot, a queer wanderer searching for somewhere to settle, buys Basie’s old church-turned-cottage and quickly finds its former owner both exasperating and deeply attractive. As Kit helps Basie plan a new life elsewhere, their slow-burn connection, shared grief, and conflicting ideas of home complicate his departure, creating a gentle but emotionally candid story that includes depictions of panic attacks, euthanasia-related suicide, parental loss, and grief.

Falling for Kit was the first of Basie's gravity related incidents...
Basie Elliot-Yeats and Orion Simon have one thing in they're both keeping secrets. Basie has been happily living with his husband in Long Lily, Pennsylvania for two years now. But it's only a matter of time before Kit starts noticing that something is up and demands answers.
Orion wishes that their brother, Lewie, would stop acting like they're the family disappointment. But it's useless to try to gain anyone's trust when the Simon family magic depends on Orion keeping their mouth shut.
When tragedy strikes Long Lily, will the secrets make sense once and for all? Or, will they come at an impossible price?
