- Cozy magical world meets existential workplace chaos
If you devoured Assistant to the Villain for its workplace chaos meets swoon-worthy danger, The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy delivers that same delicious collision of professional rivalry and forbidden heat—except the office is a marshal's outpost and an undertaker's parlor, and the stakes involve accidentally enchanted love letters. Bannen serves up the snappy, laugh-out-loud banter you crave, wrapped in a whimsical world where undead creatures lurk and two stubborn, sharp-tongued rivals discover that enemies-to-lovers burns slowest when you're both too proud to admit you're falling.
This is your next guilty pleasure escape: morally flexible heroes, quirky chaos, and a slow-burn romance that simmers with the same taboo thrill you got from rooting for the villain. No gritty quests, just heart and heat.
Because sometimes the best love stories start with a mistaken letter and end with you worshiping flawed, redeemable characters all over again.
