Hart breaks down one night and writes a letter to “a friend” to pour out his loneliness. Mercy and Hart might’ve continued on their lonely paths if it weren’t for the nimkilim, their world’s magical mail service. Carrying all of this emotional baggage around has made them snappish. They certainly don’t have time to tell other people how lonely they are or how much they feel drawn to their vocations. Neither of them has much time for themselves in all this.

They’re both dedicated to doing the right thing. ![]() The funny thing about the enemies-to-lovers trope is that the two characters fail to realize that they have more in common than they realize. ![]() Readers who love quirky love stories set outside of a Regency or Victorian ballroom-especially those who adore the enemies-to-lovers trope-will really enjoy this one.
