The Enchanted Hearth (Thornhaven #2)

Miriam Holloway has spent her life feeding Thornhaven, and she knows good flour by touch, scent, and what it asks of the oven. So when a traveling miller brings a sack that sits too warm, rises too fast, and feels wrong in a way she cannot name, she almost sends him away.

Almost.

The trouble is already spreading. Her starter goes cold. Bread collapses. The blue roses pale. Old village magic begins humming where it should be quiet. And a judgmental orange tabby named Whiskers has appointed himself guardian of the flour sack.

Thornhaven doesn't need Miriam to give until there is nothing left of her. It needs her to learn where warmth should end.

But drawing that line means trusting Cael Ashford, facing old family secrets, and deciding how much help one village can offer another without being emptied.

For fans of Legends & Lattes and The Spellshop. A warm, heartfelt cozy fantasy about magical baking, found family, old secrets, and a cat who knows exactly where the trouble is.
