Dragons & Dumplings

A princess who wants to bake, a visiting delegation, and a dragon egg in the oven. Princess Evie loves nothing more than spending the evening baking in the castle's kitchen with her best friend Nate, even if she's supposed to be attending royal functions and meeting ambassadors. When a foreign delegation visits, Nate manages to get some new recipes for them to try. But that's not all that's new in the kitchen when Evie is gifted a dragon egg and told to keep it in the fire. Now, dumplings aren't the only thing being made in the kitchen. - Dragons & Dumplings is a prequel to the Falhaven Castle series, a cozy fantasy with a baking dragon, a princess who wants to be in the kitchen over the throne room, and the baker who wants to be there with her. There is a slow burn friends-to-lovers romance, with a pinch of steam in later books, and an ace heroine.
