The Cinnamon Bun Book Store: TikTok Made Me Buy It, Dream Harbor, Book 2 By Laurie Gilmore

Nia, a devoted bookseller, has spent years dreaming of a perfect vacation: lounging on a sunlit beach with champagne and her favorite novels. But her idyllic escape takes a dark turn when she's abruptly kidnapped by Raphael, a brooding, tattooed fey with a vendetta.

Raphael’s plan is not a simple abduction; he’s determined to enlist Nia’s unexpected magical abilities at Camelot's elite academy for spies. The academy is a high-stakes environment where the rules are simple: spy on your enemies, resist temptation, and try not to die. With Raphael’s revenge against an evil Fey king as his driving force, he believes Nia’s latent powers are crucial to his mission.

Nia finds herself thrust into a world of danger and intrigue, far beyond her comfort zone. Asthmatic and physically unprepared for the demands of spy training, she struggles to keep up and stay alive. Yet, there’s no escaping Raphael’s watchful gaze. His lethal nature and smoldering intensity are impossible to ignore, and as they undertake perilous missions together, Nia finds herself irresistibly drawn to him.

Touching Raphael is like playing with fire—exciting but fraught with risk. As Nia grapples with her growing feelings and the looming threats, she must decide whether she can handle the heat of their dangerous, passionate connection.

For fans of Fourth Wing and Throne of Glass, this thrilling fantasy romance promises a heady mix of espionage, magical intrigue, and irresistible attraction.
