The Heart of the Jungle
'When Hinata woke in the evening, he half expected to see the wild man mysteriously gone, as though he'd never been there in the first place.
But instead, there he lay, fast asleep. Shafts of deep golden sunlight fell across the man's sleeping form, and Hinata stared at him, transfixed. He had long, dark lashes and a finely shaped, straight nose, and low cheekbones with a proud jawline, all of which started to fill out some sort of stereotypical profile for a rugged jungle king.
If ever there had been someone created to survive the unforgiving landscape of the jungle, it was him.'
--
The rainforest expedition is to last a full year—365 days of living under the lush canopy of trees.
Danger looms. Adventure awaits. The jungle calls. Hinata Shouyou has never wanted anything more.
Or so he thinks, until he meets a curious stranger there, who shows him what it means to be truly needed.
