The Cursed Prince and the Reluctant Matchmaker
By @Sofi 18
Elara, a cynical baker blessed (or cursed) with the ability to subtly influence others' romantic inclinations through her pastries, finds her quiet life upended when she's coerced into 'helping' the notoriously ill-tempered and magically unstable Prince Lysander. Plagued by a family curse that turns any affection shown towards him into volatile, destructive magic, Lysander is a pariah, desperate to find a suitable bride to secure his kingdom's alliances without incinerating her. Elara, whose own heart is guarded by past betrayals, must navigate the treacherous waters of court intrigue, volatile magic, and the prince's infuriating charm. The true challenge isn't just making him fall in love, but making him fall in love *safely*, all while her own carefully constructed emotional walls begin to crumble under the weight of an undeniable, inconvenient attraction. Their slow-burn, sarcastic dance could either save the kingdom or ignite a magical catastrophe.
