1 Pinch of Poison.
1 Dash of Daring.
1 Fragile Alliance (and the lies that might set it on fire).

Their marriage was arranged a century ago, but she’ll do everything she can to stop it now.

Nykita spent years fighting her scheduled arranged marriage, and now that the day has finally arrived, she will take whatever measures she must to avoid binding herself to the ocean fae’s prince.

Warrick is determined to build a successful marriage with the human princess, but he did not expect to find her little kingdom on the verge of collapsing on itself.

Warrick and Nykita need to see past each others’ crisp edges and expose their own tender vulnerabilities if they hope to stop a rebellion and save the alliance between their people. It’s a good thing they have a fire chicken to help.

How will Warrick respond to life on land, reluctant rebels, and a princess who doesn’t eat sugar? What will Nykita do when she discovers she has worse enemies than the man she married? Find out in this delightful tale of magic, tension, and no-spice romantasy!

A Pint of Peaches and Poison, a wildly reimagined, reverse-gender Little Mermaid retelling, is a standalone novella, full of magic, betrayals, redemption, and delicious fruits. It is part of the Enchanting Confections series, a collection of cozy stories with no-spice romance guaranteed to delight your sweet tooth.

Content notes: The no-spice fantasy romance in this book is perfect for readers who like sweet kisses and enemies-ish-to-lovers vibes in a fairytale island rainforest setting. The story also includes a character with insulin-resistance and a recipe for no-sugar added peach cobbler (with variations for sugar and no-gluten added).

Enchanting Confections

There is something comforting about a small-town bakery, the scent of fresh pastries drifting through the air, familiar faces gathering each morning, and recipes passed down through generations. Enchanting Confections takes that warmth and adds a touch of magic, creating a cozy fantasy mystery series where every treat may hold a secret and every day brings the possibility of the unexpected.

Set in a charming community where the supernatural exists just beneath the surface of everyday life, the series follows a baker whose talents extend beyond flour, sugar, and frosting. What begins as the simple task of running a confectionery soon becomes intertwined with magical mishaps, puzzling mysteries, and the unique challenges that arise when spells and sweets share the same kitchen.

The appeal of the series lies in its inviting atmosphere. Rather than relying on world-ending stakes, the stories focus on personal connections, local intrigue, and the small moments that make a community feel alive. Customers arrive carrying more than orders, they bring secrets, problems, and sometimes clues that lead to mysteries waiting to be unraveled. Along the way, friendships deepen, relationships evolve, and the bakery becomes a gathering place where magic and everyday life blend seamlessly.

The magical elements are woven naturally into the setting, adding wonder without overshadowing the human heart of the story. Enchanted recipes, supernatural neighbors, and unexpected discoveries create a sense of delight that complements the mystery-driven plots. Each installment offers a balance of cozy fantasy, light suspense, and character growth, making the world feel both comforting and full of possibility.

Readers who enjoy paranormal cozy mysteries, magical baking, witchy small-town settings, and character-driven storytelling will find themselves right at home. The series captures the charm of a close-knit community while delivering enough mystery and magical intrigue to keep readers turning pages long after the last pastry has cooled.

Enchanting Confections is a celebration of found family, second chances, and the quiet magic hidden within ordinary lives. Sweet, whimsical, and gently suspenseful, it invites readers into a world where a bakery can become the center of adventure and where every recipe may contain more than its ingredients reveal.


Enchanting Confections consists of six primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of four more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
