Sourdough & Starlight

The bread is rising. The stars are aligning. But can she trust her own recipe?Lenore Gable has a secret: she thinks she’s a fraud. Though she inherited Wispwater Valley’s beloved bakery, The Rising Loaf, she lives in constant fear that she’s just playing pretend. Her sourdough starter, Barnaby, is happy enough, but Lenore knows she lacks the effortless, grandmotherly magic that made the bakery legendary.Enter the new miller. Grounded, quiet, and maddeningly calm, he’s the human equivalent of a heavy sack of flour-steady, unmovable, and dusted with honest work. He’s everything Lenore isn’t. And strictly speaking, he’s just her supplier.But when a spring crisis threatens the valley’s grain supply, Lenore is forced to work side-by-side with the man who sees right through her chaotic energy. And Lenore begins to wonder if 'perfect' is the wrong goal entirely.Perhaps magic isn’t about living up to a legacy. Perhaps it’s about the heat of the oven, the dust in the air, and finding the person who keeps you grounded when you’re about to float away.Return to Wispwater Valley for a spring-fresh romance about impostor syndrome, the simple magic of good bread, and finding love in the flour dust.Contains:���� Magical Bakery Vibes���� Chaotic Baker x Stoic Miller✨ Anxiety Representation (with a HEA)���� Spring Aesthetics���� Zero angst, 100% comfort carbs
