Rhyme, Riddle, and Romance

She’s  a grumpy faerie with a failing bakery and one very inept employee… too  bad she can’t fire him. He’s a fastidious werewolf with a fondness for  Feng Shui and one very sloppy boss… too bad he can’t quit. 

When  Sophie inherits the Rhyme ’N Riddle Bakeshop from an elderly relation,  it’s a dream come true for the faerie with the magic touch for baking.  Even when she discovers she must employ her auntie’s former companion,  Sophie figures it’s a small price to pay… until she meets him.

Handsome-as-a-Norse-god  Teddy has never seen the inside of a kitchen. The ridiculous werewolf  sneezes at dust bunnies and would rather clean floors than bake cookies.  What was her auntie thinking?

Even worse, Sophie must provide Teddy with room, board, and a job for the next year… otherwise she forfeits her inheritance.

When  Teddy turns up at the bakery to fulfill the terms of Miss Dragonfly’s  will, he’s surprised to find a filthy faerie with attitude. If Sophie  would just pick up her dirty socks and avoid placing eels in the  bathtub, he might survive the next twelve months.

But Sophie  cleans up nicely, smells delightful, and does something to his  heartstrings at the oddest moments. Now Teddy has a new problem: how can  he avoid falling for his disheveled but delectable faerie boss?

Rhyme,  Riddle, and Romance is the first book in the Faeries of Door County series but it can be read as a standalone novel.
