Sugar, Spells & Secrets: A Cozy Paranormal Romance Mystery

The Spellbound Bakery Mysteries Book 1

Welcome to Raven Hollow—where the pastries are enchanted, the nights are lantern-lit, and secrets rise like dough.

Fresh from a bitter divorce, Piper Thorne inherits her estranged aunt’s bakeshop and discovers the ovens keep more than heat. The ledger whispers in flour-soft riddles, the only “employee” is a snarky ghost cat who refuses belly rubs, and her next-door neighbor—a brooding supernatural detective—has magic simmering under his quiet smile.

When the ledger hints at a decades-old disappearance tied to Piper’s own family, she teams up with the mysterious man next door. As Harvest Homecoming fills the streets with spice and moonlight, clues hide in enchanted recipes, friendships deepen, and a slow-burn spark threatens to become something more.
