One night, after falling in love with the owner of Cafe Beget while exploring his kingdom in disguise, the king of the bayside Aliger realizes something: he cannot be both a good king and a good partner in a relationship. And so, he concocts a grand plan to set up an elected government, abdicate the throne, and woo the cafe owner, all in the space of ninety days. While the nobility plot and fight to turn the situation to their own advantage, the king discovers that the dating scene might be more fraught with failure and ruin than royal politics.
Keeping a business going, especially a cafe, in Aliger is no easy job; and Julia Beget, the owner of Cafe Beget, is doing her best. Not only does she work at all hours - baking, brewing, and barista-ing - with hardly any sleep, she does what she can to keep her menu innovative and novel to attract customers. But her latest invention, the ring doughnut, isn't attracting the business she hoped for, and the future Cafe Beget is precarious.
So she comes up with one final scheme to bet it all on: an open stage night, were people can watch their talented, or foolish, neighbors perform various entertaining acts - and hopefully buy drinks and baked goods as well. While she didn't exactly know what to expect, what she didn't anticipate was the level of chaos it brought. That, and the quiet, new nighttime regular, dressed as a clerk, taking the stage with a lute. Although she begins to suspect that he might be there more for her rather than the chance to play, she can't become distracted if she wants her cafe to become successful.
Right?
Scheming, plotting, wooing, brewing, and baking await within the pages of The Ninety Day King.
