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 paired with the runt of the clutch, Nevan is 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 Hearthwell has enough on her plate. Widowed at an early age, she's running the island bakery, raising two children, and fending off a meddlesome dwarven in-law who thinks her son belongs in the mine. When desperation strikes, she blurts out a solution that's equal parts brilliant and ridiculous: she's betrothed to Nevan.
But Nevan has adored Franisa since childhood. And fake betrothals have a way of attracting real feelings, curious neighbors, and dragons who seem very invested in romantic outcomes.
As fire threatens the village, an injured war dragon seeks refuge, and Safe Haven rallies around its own, Nevan and Franisa discover that bravery comes in many forms-and that family can be forged as surely as iron.
Dragons, fresh bread, found family, and a seaside village full of heart-welcome back to Safe Haven.
A cozy fantasy with a reverse-age-gap, fake engagement, friends-to-lovers romance that won't steam your glasses. Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic, and Jane Austen's Dragons-a cozy fantasy that smells faintly of woodsmoke, sea spray, and warm cinnamon rolls.
