EngageVolume 1

The greatest love is one that surmounts even the greatest obstacles in this romance featuring Naru from the Love Nest series. When a young chef confesses his love to a mysterious and attractive older stranger, he’s drawn into a deep web of intrigue and buried family history that could threaten his attraction to the only man he’s ever loved.

The highlight of chef Mei Suzumori’s year is the Tanabata Festival—the one day a year when a pair of mythical lovers reunites.

For Mei, it’s the day that a mysterious, handsome stranger visits his adopted family’s restaurant to buy tasty seasonal taiyaki.

This year, unable to hold his feelings for the attractive stranger back any longer, Mei professes his love—and finds he’s linked to the enigmatic Naru by a bond much deeper and more complicated than he ever imagined.
