I Don’t Mean I Love You Either

William Anderson, a recognized author of epic fantasy, publicly promises to write a grand romance and prove to critics that he is capable of going beyond his usual genre. His reputation and career are at stake. But it quickly becomes clear that coming up with a plausible story about feelings is more challenging than responding to critical jabs.

To save the project, the publishing house brings in junior editor Rachel Garcia. For her, it's a chance to establish herself in the profession and take an important step forward. Their collaboration immediately turns into a series of disputes: he views love with cynicism, while she rejects a simplified perspective on characters and their motives. Amidst edits, conflicts, and attempts to elevate the manuscript to the desired level, their professional relationship begins to transcend the confines of the office. The story intertwines a romantic subplot, the publishing hustle, and the theme of emotional maturity.
