A Halloween Romance A tiny pumpkin carved with a poem brings the colors of autumn back into her life. When Haruka discovers a miniature pumpkin in her backyard, she finds a few quiet lines of poetry carved into its skin—a mysterious “pumpkin letter” that seems to have come from the house next door. Tired of dealing with people, Haruka has returned to her late grandmother’s home in search of a quieter life. Her reserved neighbor, Minato Sasagawa, works among the plants at the local botanical garden and seems far more comfortable with flowers—and his rescued German shepherd—than with conversation. But one pumpkin letter leads to another. Through handmade gifts, shared silences, and small acts of kindness, the distance between two lonely neighbors slowly begins to disappear. Set beneath the warm glow of Halloween lanterns, The Pumpkin Letter is a gentle, heartwarming autumn romance about finding unexpected sweetness just next door.

When she receives an unexpected interview invitation from Blackwood Group, one of the most powerful corporations in the country, she sees it as the opportunity she has been praying for.
