The Dragon's Fake Date

An amateur baker and a dragon pretend to be a couple to compete on a baking show and salvage her career—and his pride—in this third novel in Isabelle Taylor’s Claw Haven monster romance series, perfect for fans of Fan Service by Rosie Danan and The Baby Dragon Cafe by A.T. Qureshi.

Hazel has just been fired from her beloved cafe job. Determined to do just one thing right, she insists on doing one last pickup from the bakery across the street—only to drop the box on the floor, right in front of the grumpy dragon who owns the bakery.

Heath just wants the clumsy human to do her job. But he ends up giving her an awkward pep talk, where he tells her to have “more fire.” Easy for him to say—Heath’s dragon-fire has been spilling out of him in uncomfortable, inconvenient ways ever since his wife left to pursue a life in show business.

Then his ex-wife shows up in town and, in a panic, Heath claims Hazel is his new girlfriend. Hazel not only goes along with it, but insists she’s the new pastry chef. Their lies lead to Heath’s ex-wife roping them into her new baking show. It’s only supposed to be a few months; then they can go back to being the closed-off baker and clumsy human who’s been fired from every job she’s ever had.

Hazel needs more fire. Heath needs less. With each improved recipe bringing them closer, they just may come together to find the perfect baking temperature—if their lies don’t catch up with them first.
