✨ Book 1 Coming Soon — The Noble Art of Falling Apart

The Beacon & Blade Tavern Series

Four books. One magical tavern. A found family that will steal your heart. Set in the warm, welcoming town of Larkspur — where the Beacon knows what you need before you do, and love has a way of finding the people who need it most.

The Noble Art of Falling Apart

Felicity Fairbourne has a gift for making everything look effortless — the events, the smiles, the quiet competent management of everyone else's chaos. The one thing she can't manage is herself, which is how she ends up fleeing her arranged engagement and arriving at the Beacon & Blade Tavern with one bag and absolutely no plan.

Bennett Frost has a gift for minding his own business. He's a Bureau guard — rules-first, warmth-optional, and possessed of a talent for saying exactly the wrong thing in exactly the right tone. He is not here to make friends. He is not here to notice the runaway who's somehow reorganized the entire town in three weeks. He is leaving as soon as the paperwork is done.

The Beacon & Blade, which has been collecting stray people for three hundred years, finds all of this very amusing.

Thrown together by circumstance, bureaucracy, and a magical building with no sense of personal space, Felicity and Bennett discover that the only thing harder than asking for help is admitting you might want to stay — especially when someone infuriating and steady keeps making it increasingly difficult to leave.

Sharp banter, warm hearts, and a sentient tavern that meddles with the confidence of someone who has never once been wrong.
