Moonlit Deals at the Thistle Tea Shop

Iris Thorne has one rule for running the Thistle Tea Shop: people before profit. The guild's new audit doesn't care about warm scones and found family-only ledgers, margins, and compliance. Enter Rowan Hale, a by-the-book auditor with rain in his hair, patience in his voice, and zero time for "quirks." When Iris crafts a moonbound clause to save the shop-balance the books by the full moon and the audit passes-receipts start falling into place, tips stretch further, and the town rallies. So does the jealous little hex rattling spoons whenever Rowan stands too close.
As a rival chain circles and the guild prepares a surprise inspection, Iris and Rowan sift through invoices, secrets, and sparks that refuse to stay professional. Numbers tell one story; neighbors tell another. To keep her sanctuary open, Iris must prove both matter-and decide if the safest choice is letting love rewrite the contract.
Tropes & vibes: cozy romantasy, grumpy×sunshine, small-town magic, found family, slow burn, cat familiar, guaranteed HEA.
