Love is a little magic, a little mischief, and a lot of flying off the handle.
Fresh out of Hogwarts and freshly in love, Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring open The Wand & Whisk, a tiny enchanted café tucked in the quieter cobbled streets of Hogsmeade. From gossip-scones that whisper secrets to mood-based tea that brews your feelings into flavor, the café quickly becomes a local haven for oddities, warmth, and love-infused baking.
But not everyone is charmed. A nosy neighbor launches a zoning petition. Magical mishaps multiply. And when an old flame returns and tempers rise, Charlie and Nick must navigate the chaos of small-town scrutiny, romantic pressure, and flying napkins.
Can love survive cake explosions, magical inspections, and flirting pastries? Or will their dream café crumble like a cursed croissant?
