Death's Embrace. Death's Sentries, #1

Zed is a psychopomp, one of the Sentries created to guide mortals to their afterlife. Long ago, he fell in love with one. Since then, that mortal has chosen reincarnation, over and over, so that the two can be together at the end of every lifetime. The mortal forgets when they live, but always remembers once they see Zed again, for those glorious moments when they can be together-until they have to part again.
Bowie is an ordinary human. They're preoccupied by their insecure retail job, their indifferent parents, and a lifetime of moving from place to place. They have no real knowledge of the afterlife, psychopomps, or anything else. Until an accident sends them briefly to the Place Between where Zed is there to greet them. When they return to their life, Zed comes along.but as always when they're alive, Bowie doesn't remember him.
Now Bowie has to contend with a death-sensing hospital cat, confusingly spiritual friends, and the newly embodied man who loves them. On top of all that, they're still worried about work. And a Sentry abandoning his post may have consequences. Death's Embrace is an NBi/M paranormal romance novel that involves grief, joy, love, sex, and really alarming amounts of macaroni. It's the first in a series of connected standalone stories, each with a guaranteed HEA.
