I fell down a hole and landed in a demon’s garden bed. Literally.

I’m a botanist, not a dimension-hopper. But when the ground swallows me whole, I wake up in a cave with Rylik—a towering, horned demon with claws that could shred me and a…knitting hobby?

He’s not the monster the stories warned me about. He’s a grumpy, touch-starved hermit who weaves blankets, desperately wants to grow a garden in the dark, and looks at me like I’m the sun itself.

I should be terrified. I should be trying to find a way home. Instead, I’m teaching him about irrigation, wearing his shirts, and realizing that his "protective" growls make my knees weak. But we aren't alone in the Demon Realm. The Demon King is watching, and he doesn't like unregistered humans.

Now Rylik has to choose: his safe, solitary life, or the messy, dangerous, undeniable love growing between us.
