She's a grumpy faerie with a failing bakery and one very inept employee… too bad she can't fire him. He's a fastidious werewolf with a fondness for feng shui and one very sloppy boss… too bad he can't quit. When Sophie inherits the Rhyme 'N Riddle Bakeshop from an elderly relation, it's a dream come true for the faerie with the magic touch for baking. Even when she discovers she must employ her auntie's former companion, Sophie figures it's a small price to pay… until she meets him. Handsome-as-a-Norse-god Teddy has never seen the inside of a kitchen. The ridiculous werewolf sneezes at dust bunnies and would rather clean floors than bake cookies. What was her auntie thinking? Even worse, Sophie must provide Teddy with room, board, and a job for the next year… otherwise she forfeits her inheritance. When Teddy turns up at the bakery to fulfill the terms of Miss Dragonfly's will, he's surprised to find a filthy faerie with attitude. If Sophie would just pick up her dirty socks and avoid placing eels in the bathtub, he might survive the next twelve months. But Sophie cleans up nicely, smells delightful, and does something to his heartstrings at the oddest moments. Now Teddy has a new problem: how can he avoid falling for his disheveled but delectable faerie boss? "Skillfully plotted books packed full of magic, mayhem, and a plethora of dark secrets..."
