🧁🐉🔥💖🧁🐉🔥💖🧁🐉🔥💖

Will it be a recipe for romance? Or a friendship up in flames?

Lavinia has it all. A loving family (complete with an adorable pet baby dragon), a place at university training to be a magical animal vet, and a part-time job at the enchanting Baby Dragon Cafe. The only thing she doesn’t have is her one true love: Theo.

Theo is the local baker and her best friend. On paper, they’re perfect: he’s funny, she’s witty. He’s sweet, and she’s a little salty. That’s why they’ve been friends for as long as they can remember. They’ve never been without one another – and it’s clear to everyone that they’re meant to be.

Everyone except Theo. Because when Lavinia finally makes her move, he pulls away.

Lavinia is devastated. Has this friendship gone up in smoke? Or will Theo finally realise that he wants them to be more than friends?

The perfect dual POV, friends-to-lovers cozy fantasy, with HEA guaranteed!

Tropes:

  • Friends-to-lovers 💝
  • Bakery romance 💝
  • Small town 🍂
  • Low spice ✨

The Baby Dragon Cafe was a Times top 10 bestselling paperback and an Amazon top 10 bestselling ebook on 1st February 2025.
