Lavinia has almost everything she wants in life. She has the perfect side hustle, working part-time at the Baby Dragon Café. She’s at school for the perfect career, to be a vet for magical animals. And she has the ideal best friend, Theo, the baker at the local patisserie open to baby dragons and their humans. The only thing she doesn’t have is Theo as her boyfriend. Lavinia’s been in love with Theo since they first met. Whenever she sees him at the bakery, being so kind to the baby dragons who fly around setting his baking equipment on fire, her heart can’t help but flutter. But when she finally works up the courage to plant a kiss on him, his reaction isas cold as ice, not the flames she was expecting. Sent into a tail-spin of emotions, Lavinia blurts out that she didn’t mean the kiss! She was just looking to make Theo’s coworker jealous, and so Theo offers to help make them fall in love. Lavinia can’t see any way out of the situation. She has to agree, and so begins Theo’s plan to set them up.
There’s only one problem: Theo’s secretly in love with her too.
