A Blacksmith's Guide to Dragon-Rearing

Raising dragons is easier than raising a five-year-old. Probably.

Nevan never planned on becoming a dragon rider. He was perfectly content swinging a hammer in the forge—until an injured dragon rider retired to Safe Haven. Now he’s supposed to help train the island’s brand new sea dragon fire brigade. That means long days, soaked clothing, and a growing suspicion that dragons like to play matchmaker.

Franisa has her hands full keeping her bakery--and her daughter--in one piece, but she still manages to keep an eye on Nevan. After all, she’s known him since childhood—and maybe, just maybe, she’s starting to see the dragon rider in a new light.

But when sparks fly—literally and figuratively—the whole village gets involved. Between curious dragons, nosy neighbors, and one busy little girl, Nevan and Franisa might have to decide if their friendship is ready to turn into something more.

Dragons, fresh bread, and a magical island town—welcome back to Safe Haven.

Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic, and Jane Austen's Dragons--the kind of fantasy that smells faintly of woodsmoke and warm cinnamon rolls.
