I’m a proud NEET who’s devoured every romance novel, manga, webtoon, and otome game out there. Just when I thought I’d conquered it all, a black bunny appeared in my dream. “Congrats!

Their heated confrontations spark more than anger, and as crises force them to work together, Ellie and Wyatt realize the line between enemies and something more is razor-thin. With past grudges, family secrets, and Wildwood’s very future hanging in the balance, Ellie and Wyatt must decide whether they’ll fight for their land—or their hearts.
