A pinch of patience. A dash of mercy. And a love that blooms in the rockiest soil.

Welcome back to Gracehaven.

Marigold Dawn has always had a gift for making everyone around her comfortable and happy. Unfortunately, that gift comes with a terrible habit of saying yes.

Yes to another last minute cake order at the Honeybloom Bakeshop. Yes to organizing the summer farmers' market completely by herself.

And somehow, yes to co-parenting a baby drake with none other than the beastly Torin Croft—the grumpy gargoyle war veteran who lives alone in a crumbling manor deep in the woods. A man intent on pushing her away at every turn.

But clearly God has other plans.

Now swept up in the whirlwind of her many new responsibilities alongside the only man capable of seeing right through her sunny smiles, Marigold will finally have to ask herself the hard questions and face her deepest, most hidden fears.

Because sometimes God’s greatest blessings come in unexpected packages.

And true peace begins only when we learn to surrender our burdens to Him.

Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy and clean romance, Briar and Bloom delivers a heartwarming tale of faith, small-town charm, and unexpected love in a whimsical fantasy world shaped by missionaries from Earth. If you love grumpy-sunshine dynamics, Beauty and the Beast vibes, and Christian fiction filled with on-page prayer and quoted Scripture, then prepare to be swept away into the charming town of Gracehaven today!
