She’s baking rebellion into every roll. He’s undercover with a whisk and a warrant.

Tamsyn Alder would rather charm sourdough than people. Her enchanted bakery is the last place she wants a mysterious new assistant—especially one with secretive eyes and royal handwriting. But when tax spells start targeting local shops, she’ll need more than good crust to protect her town.

Finn Carroway has one mission: infiltrate the rebellious bakery behind the Muffin Manifesto and shut it down before it crumbles the monarchy. He didn’t plan on falling for the baker, the bread, or the small-town resistance run by spies disguised as kitchen staff.

In a village where the sourdough bites back, surveillance lanterns record your sins, and rebellion is measured in pastries, Tamsyn and Finn must choose between duty and desire—before the oven timer runs out.

A cozy fantasy romantic comedy featuring secret identities, magical baking, and the slowest of burns.
