When the Baker Met the Dragon: A Cozy Fantasy Monster Romance (Leafshire Cove Monsters #3)

She bakes warmth and comfort. He thrives on mischief and adventure. But love has a way of turning even the wildest hearts toward home.

I love my quiet life in Leafshire Cove—early mornings, the scent of cinnamon and honey, the simple joy of kneading dough while the village slowly wakes. Everything in my world is warm, steady, safe.

Except Cyrus, the dragon shifter next door.

With his roguish grin and endless charm, Cyrus runs a rowdy pub, flirts shamelessly with almost everyone, and lives for adventure. Our friendship is built on teasing banter and unspoken understanding.

But what most of Leafshire Cove doesn’t know—what I’ve only ever suspected—is that beneath his carefree façade, Cyrus is desperate to discover the history of his dragon bloodline.

Even if it means poking his handsome nose into dangerous places.

When a noble’s impossibly large pastry order threatens to overwhelm me, Cyrus offers to help bake. During the late nights in the kitchen, I start to wonder if I’ve been wrong about him—about us—all along. But when a mysterious merchant offers him the chance to uncover his true heritage, our burgeoning relationship goes up in flames.

I know some dragons are fated for distant skies, but could some of them—one of them—possibly be meant to stay?



When the Baker Met the Dragon is a spicy cozy fantasy romance about love, longing, and finding home in the most unexpected place.
