A halfling and a goblin must learn to love each other despite their differences in this cozy fantasy romance, brimming with warmth and popular romance tropes--perfect for fans of The Honey Witch and The Spellshop. What if cottagecore and goblincore fell in love? When a halfling, Pansy, and a goblin, Ren, each think they've inherited the same cottage, they make a bargain: they'll live in the house together and whoever is driven out first forfeits their ownership.
Amidst forced proximity and cultural misunderstandings, the two begin to fall in love.
But when the cottage--and their communities--are threatened by a common enemy, the duo must learn to trust each other, and convince goblins and halflings to band together to oust a tall intruder.
