A novel by Kate Callaghan
Don’t Go Baking My Heart is a paranormal romance filled with magic, found family, and forbidden love—perfect for fans of cosy small-town fantasy with a dark twist.
In the realm between life and death, Grim Reaper Peter Matherson dutifully guides souls to their rest. But when he’s ordered to return to Foxford to claim the soul of a young woman from his past, his job doesn’t seem so simple.
For Faye Parker, baking is her escape from an unhappy, controlling marriage. A new and unexpected friendship gives her the courage to start over—but she never expected Peter to be such a vital part of her journey. As their bond deepens and love begins to bloom, Peter faces the ultimate choice: follow duty and lose her forever, or defy death itself.
With his deadline closing in, will Peter sacrifice his soul to save hers? Or will love crumble like an overbaked pastry?
