A spoonful of green peas.
A sprinkle of cocoa nibs.
And a melting pot of opposites attract.
Una of Lamera has a secret.
In a prosperous kingdom known for its golden wheat and ever-laden tables, she is a rare thorn. As the Royal Flourier’s daughter, one tilt of her chin can make or end a baker’s career. But she knows the cruel things they whisper behind her back. Won’t take a single bite. Impossible to please.
And sometimes, when her stomach is churning after a simple taste of honeyed pastry, she believes them. Una learned long ago to avoid the foods that left her ill for days.
But then Matthias arrives. A charming, ambitious student who wins the king’s favor with his perfect choux pastry.However, it’s Una’s approval he needs to complete his apprenticeship—and she only pretended to taste his cocoa before refusing to eat anything made by his hand.Matthias saw right through the ruse, and now he’s determined to make her eat her words.
Neither of them suspects that his rare, unfashionable cocoa might be the one sweet thing in Lamera that doesn’t leave her ill. Can he melt her icy exterior before she ruins his career?
A Cup of Cocoa and Chaos is loose retelling of The Princess and the Pea and King Midas.
