A retired knight, a fabulous dragon, and the chocolate shop that changes everything.
A knight hangs up her sword. A dragon makes the perfect shop assistant. And the best chocolate in the realm is about to change everything.
Dassia Temperton has a secret, well, not a secret so much as a bold, ongoing misunderstanding that she refuses to correct in the kingdom. For years, she has been a woman disguised as a knight… because honestly, have you seen how they get treated? Hot meals. Personal space. Significantly fewer marriage proposals from balding merchants.
Dassia has been living in borrowed armor and even more borrowed confidence, dodging questions and keeping her feelings locked up tighter than a dragons hoard. But when she trades her sword for a chocolate shop in the market district of Cozyhood Commons, she discovers that starting over means letting people in.
Her kitchen assistant is definitely not a dragon (no matter what the neighbors say). The bookshop mage next door keeps rearranging his displays when she walks past. And a prestigious chocolate competition could put her shop on the map, if a mysterious saboteur doesn't shut it down first.
For fans of Legends & Lattes and The House in the Cerulean Sea, a heartwarming cozy fantasy about finding where you truly belong.
Chivalry & Chocolate is a cozy fantasy novel about the courage to stop hiding, the magic of chocolate, and the family you choose.
