A pinch of fake dating, a dash of fundraiser mayhem, and a love that rises when their future is on the line.
Running the Cozy Cat Café while its owner is away would have been enough work, but apprentice Linnea added another complication: catering the local school's fundraiser. Surviving the week seems debatable...until the quiet schoolteacher she might be falling for offers to help her. Faking a relationship to avoid one of his students is only the icing on the cinnamon roll.
Conrad hasn't been able to take his eyes off Linnea since he first saw her, and the fact that she's on her own with the cafe for a week seems like the perfect opportunity to show her how much he cares. But with more suitors vying for her hand, an encounter with a hive of bees gone wrong, and clingy students that he can't shake, proving that he's the man for her is turning out to be more work than he expected.
Between batches of pastries and mugs of tea, can Conrad and Linnea's fake relationship rise to the occasion, or will they both end up burned?
A Taste of Tea and Tenderness, a no spice fairy tale retelling of Thumbelina, is a standalone novella, complete with tropes such as fake dating, he falls first, and wound tending. It is part of The Enchanting Confections series, a collection of clean and cozy stories guaranteed to delight your sweet tooth. Perfect for fans of whimsical fairytale romance, cozy Hallmark vibes, and sweet & swoony heroes.
