A cursed bakery, a secret witch, and a dragon shifter who just might be her fated mate.
After inheriting her grandmother’s bakery, Tessa has poured everything into restoring it to its former glory. But a sudden curse threatens to close her doors for good. Every morning, her delicious pastries turn to stone by midday, and her fledgling witch powers aren’t enough to stop it. Worse, the only way to lift the curse comes with a price tag she can’t afford.
Enter Darius Flintwing—a powerful, dangerously handsome dragon shifter with a problem of his own. He’s determined to build a haven for magical creatures in Windhollow, but with rumors of dragons being dangerous hoarders, investors are wary. When one investor assumes Tessa is his partner in the venture, Darius plays along.
Desperate to save her bakery, Tessa strikes a bargain with Darius: she’ll pose as his devoted fiancée in exchange for his help breaking the curse.
It’s a perfect plan—until their fake relationship starts to feel all too real, and an even darker force threatens Windhollow. Together, they’ll face dangerous magic, ancient secrets, and a fiery connection that might just be more than either of them bargained for.
Will love rise from the ashes, or will their carefully built façade crumble?
Genre: Paranormal Romance
