Cayden is intimately familiar with the historical tensions between witches and humans; her own witch mother was ostracized by her high-society family for falling in love with Cayden's human father. In the name of love, her mother cut off all contact with her family, and they moved to Ohio, where they opened a bakery. Years later, their bakery faces financial ruin due to wealthy witches gentrifying their neighborhood. The situation worsens when Cayden realizes she inadvertently went on a date with Khy Carter, the popular "it-boy" of the local witch community.
However, an unexpected solution emerges as Khy's newfound "girlfriend" status brings a surge of new customers to the bakery. Despite her family's strong anti-witch sentiments, Cayden decides to fake-date Khy to save her family's business. While this facade offers a lifeline, Cayden grapples with the betrayal she feels towards her parents, who chose love over everything. This forces her to question if she, too, is willing to prioritize love, even if it means defying her family's deeply ingrained beliefs.
Though there is magic in this story, it is heavily underutilized and barely noticeable. The narrative leans more towards contemporary romance with only a smidge of fantasy elements, leaving a desire for more magical integration. Fans of light fantasy or romance will enjoy this light read.
