The Wayside Guide to Baking and Bloodlust
(2027)(The second book in the Magical Wayside Hotel series)
A novel by Elizabeth Everett
Pair one grumpy vampire prince with a passionate lawyer, add in a magical hotel brimming with feral fairies and anxious pixies . . . you’ve got the perfect recipe for an enchanting romance.
Slowly rebuilding her life after a devastating divorce, Sophie Cooper is one assignment away from becoming senior partner at her law firm. All she has to do is find out who owns her strangely perfect apartment building, and if there’s something shady going on with the eccentric and secretive residents—including the good-looking but weirdly intense Raphe Darksson.
Raphael Darksson, heir to the Vampire Throne, has worlds to conquer and skulls to crush. However, his only means of universal travel, Number Five Wayside Hotel, has run out of fuel in the most un-magical of places. When Raphe discovers that Sophie is investigating Number Five he decides to use his masterful powers of seduction—and his and Sophie’s shared love for the Great British Baking Show—to reveal her nefarious objectives.
Agreeing to co-judge Wayside’s bake-off, Raphe and Sophie find their chemistry in the kitchen isn’t limited to their delicious bakes. Attraction alone, however, won’t overcome family expectations that keep them from putting their own happiness before their burdensome responsibilities. Can Raphe convince Sophie to trust him or will they deprive themselves of the sweetest treat of all?
