She just wanted to sell a bakery. Instead, she baked a boyfriend.

Poppy Bell came to Moonriver Cove to unload her late aunt’s thrift bakery, banish a few haunted teacups, and get out. One emotional baking spiral and an accidentally spoken spell later, she’s staring up at Rye—a six-foot-three cinnamon roll golem with warm eyes, strong arms, and the unshakable belief she’s his destiny.

Now her kitchen talks back, her pastries are casting emotional magic, and someone—or something—is determined to send Rye back to wherever he came from. To save him, Poppy will have to face the bakery’s ancient enchantments, her own guarded heart, and the terrifying possibility that love might be worth staying for.

Perfect for fans of Practical Magic, The Great British Bake Off, and cinnamon-sweet love stories.

Each novella in the Moonriver Cove collection can be read as a standalone or in any order.
