Overview

Roan MacKenna never wanted to be an innkeeper.

After years of adventure and questionable enterprises, the last thing she expected was to inherit The Lantern & Latch, a countryside inn with a mind of its own. Doors open when needed, lost items reappear, and the kitchen always has a surprise simmering, much to Roan's frustration.

When a mysterious traveler arrives searching for a lost family heirloom, the inn's magic begins to draw them together in ways Roan isn't prepared for. Alongside Thom, the steadfast assistant from the nearby village, and Montgomery, a sharp-tongued cat who was once a nobleman, Roan finds herself at the heart of an unlikely household, and falling for a woman whose past is as complicated as her own.

As the seasons turn, secrets unravel, bonds deepen, and four lost souls must choose: return to the lives they knew, or embrace the family they never expected to find.

A Sapphic cozy fantasy about second chances, found family, and discovering that sometimes the best adventures happen when you finally stop running.

Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, and The House in the Cerulean Sea.
