Cafe Romantique

All Marguerite de Luzenac wanted was permission to place ten café tables on her own land. Instead, the mayor of Carcassonne decided to stop her.

After the death of her husband, Marguerite leaves Paris for the sun-warmed south of France and restores a small bakery on the edge of the old city. Life is simple and predictable until dreams, memories, and a strange pull from the land suggest something more.

As she fights vanished permits, delayed approvals, and hidden agendas, long-buried secrets begin to surface. Echoes of women who came before her. Forgotten histories. Ancient injustices that refuse to stay silent.

Unseen beside her, Larissa, an angel in training, can guide only through intuition, memory, and timing. The rest is up to Marguerite.

With the help of an investigative journalist, she must uncover the truth before the past is lost once more.

A heart-warming tale of courage, memory, and quiet miracles, Café Romantique is a story of land, persistence, and reclaiming what was never meant to be lost.

Some cafés serve coffee.
Some serve cake.
Café Romantique serves reckonings.

The first book in Larissa's Angelic Adventures, a series of uplifting magical realism novellas where ordinary lives are touched by quiet miracles, hidden histories, and gentle transformation.
