But for a man who has spent his life wandering and a woman who has every reason to stay, falling in love might prove considerably more complicated than either anticipated.

Kakashi Hatake has faced some of the deadliest shinobi in the world, but apparently, his greatest weakness is a woman in a white medical coat.

Unfortunately, Kakashi seems determined to become her most troublesome patient. Between his questionable excuses for hospital visits, her sharp remarks, and a growing attraction neither is particularly eager to acknowledge, their professional relationship becomes anything but ordinary. After all, even the Copy Ninja might discover there's one woman he simply cannot outsmart.

Armed with an unsettling ability to read people and an almost complete disregard for procedure, Keigo quickly becomes both Akane's greatest asset and her biggest headache. Between baffling murder cases, questionable investigative methods, and a team that can barely keep him in line, the two discover that solving crimes might be considerably easier than figuring each other out.

She was once rejected for failing to give her husband an heir. Now she's carrying the child of the most powerful sorcerer in the country.

Satoru Gojo, the arrogant young head of the Gojo clan, has made it equally clear that marriage and fatherhood are the last things he wants. Their arrangement was supposed to be simple: no promises, no attachments, and certainly no future together.

Between shameless teasing, lingering touches, blurred boundaries, and jealousy neither was willing to acknowledge, their little arrangement became increasingly difficult to call practice.

But Serina isn't easily intimidated, and her talent, determination, and spirited personality soon begin to catch Bakugo's attention. Between heated kitchen competitions, late-night lessons, sharp banter, and an increasingly complicated attraction, the two discover that some things are much harder to master than the art of cooking.
