Her delicious pastries and sunny personality are enough for the townsfolk to overlook her scandalous patronage and witchiness. Full-figured and sweet tempered, she catches the eyes of many eligible young men. But Pamina dreams of a true love match like the ones her sisters have found. Lorenzo Bartoli has endured hardship after hardship, leaving him bitter and guarded. When their estranged father passes away, leaving him and his sister his abandoned bakery, Lorenzo visits to the quaint mountain town to see the shop their father abandoned them for. In need of a fresh start, Lorenzo reluctantly agrees to take over the bakery. There’s just one problem: neither sibling inherited their father’s baking talents. When a beautiful, kindhearted witch offers to help them, Lorenzo agrees. He’s determined to keep things strictly business, but the more time he spends with her, the more he finds himself warming up to the possibility of love. Can Pamina melt his icy heart, or will things end in heartache for both of them? Welcome to Zamerra, where cozy fantasy intertwines with Italian cottage core and fairy core.
