A grieving white rabbit student and a guarded gray wolf heir, tied by an old family betrothal.
Twenty-one-year-old Ella pours her heart out to Adrian the moment she moves in after her father’s death. But the 29-year-old wolf pulls back. He fears her love is just grief-induced dependence, hiding his softness behind gentle care.
Rival admirers and family demands for a strategic marriage push them apart. Misreading his study-abroad advice as rejection, Ella flees to London to stand on her own.
Two years on, they reunite. Adrian owns his cowardice and apologizes. He turns down a business marriage deal, shuts down gossip, and gets down on one knee at her graduation. This time, love wins over old fears.
