They have always belonged to each other—just never in the way the world understands.
Raised between two countries and bound by a friendship forged long before they had a choice, Berlin and Jiwon grew up as constants in each other’s lives. Summers were shared. Grief was shared. Even distance never truly separated them.
So when Jiwon calls from Seoul with news he can’t explain over the phone, Berlin doesn’t hesitate—she goes to him, the way they always have for each other.
What she finds waiting for her will change everything.
As family obligations tighten and old traditions threaten to dictate the future, a decision made in desperation draws them into an arrangement that blurs the line between pretense and truth. Forced to confront grief, loyalty, and the quiet love they’ve never dared to name, they must learn what it means to choose each other—not out of habit, but out of intention.
Because some families are born.
And some are built, piece by piece, by those brave enough to stay.
Hanuel & Malcolm is a tender, emotionally rich contemporary romance about found family, second chances, and the courage it takes to claim the life—and love—you’ve already been living.
Genre: Romance
