Alice walks into Wonderland already jaded, already armed, already done with being rescued. The romance isn't soft, it's a weapon each guy uses to keep her, and she knows it, and she stays anyway. A girl who refuses to be anyone's fantasy discovers she might want to be someone's choice.
Alice wakes in a twisted wonderland called Heartland after being dragged there by a mysterious rabbit-eared man, and she's furious about it. Unlike the naive heroine of fairy tales, this Alice is sharp, pragmatic, and deeply cynical about her predicament. She refuses to be a passive victim while trapped in a world that operates by its own cruel rules. The residents of Heartland are beautiful, dangerous men who seem intent on keeping Alice bound to this place. Blood runs a ruthless mafia operation with gentleman's grace. Ace commands the knight's order with unpredictable violence masked by charm. Each encounter pulls Alice deeper into political games and romantic entanglements she never asked for. As Alice navigates this blood-soaked fantasy world, she discovers that nothing here is what it appears. Her captors have agendas, Heartland has secrets, and Alice herself may be far more important to this twisted realm than she realizes. Survival means playing their games while uncovering the truth behind her kidnapping and whether escape is even possible anymore.
