Welcome to The Magical Spice Tea Shop, where your wildest dreams can come true with just a pinch of cinnamon . . .

~ Cosy romantasy
~ Rivals to lovers
~ Grumpy x sunshine
~ He falls first and he falls harder
~ Magical spices
~ Small town romance

On the edge of Willow Vale sits a tea shop, full of spices that can take you back into your memories, and if the rumours are true, even allow you to change those memories.

Left alone to run his parents shop, and very much out of his depth, Finn advertises for an assistant position. Lila, an ex-event planner with an uncanny ability to get under Finn's skin is the only applicant.

As an exasperated Finn and bubbly Lila struggle to find a working balance, terrible whispers begin to float in about a customer who is lost in her memories. Finn and Lila are forced to work together to find out what - or who - is sabotaging their shop, before the accidents force them to shut down the shop and sell it to a shark who is already circling.

As things heat up between the pair, will Lila ever be able to win over the grumpy Finn, or will he remain as closed off to her as he is to the Magical Spice Tea Shop?

From the author of How to Fake it With a Fae comes the perfect small town romance with a sprinkling of magic and undercurrent of healing fiction. Readers adore Amy Boyles's cosy romantasy books!

Cozy, comforting, and utterly charming. The Magical Spice Teashop is brimming with warmth, whimsy, and slow-burn charm (Jessica Gadziala, author of My Big Fat Vampire Wedding)

If a tea cosy could be a book, it would be The Magical Spice Tea Shop. With its tenderly drawn characters and small-town charm, it'll warm your heart from start to finish. It's exactly my cup of tea (Hazel Graves, author of The Little Coffee Shop of Terrors)
