Delicious

Hansel and Gretel may have defeated the witch, but that wasn’t the end of the story.

Grady finally achieved his dream of becoming a premier pastry chef, but long days in a windowless kitchen aren’t what he imagined. Maybe it’s a midlife crisis, but the offer to write a cookbook feels like the perfect excuse to leave the city and start fresh.

Hanson leaps at the chance to restore the old “haunted house” on the edge of town. He and his sister once snuck inside as kids—it was creepy, sure, but he still doesn’t believe in ghosts. Not even when strange happenings begin to pile up.

As Hanson and Grady grow closer, the town legends surrounding the gingerbread-style house prove to be more than just whispers of cold spots and creaking floors. Fairy tales might not be real—but this one could spell The End for them both. Now, where’s a fairy godmother when you need one?

Delicious is a 40K low-heat, low-angst novella, great for a lazy afternoon, featuring a chef with no game, an easy-going carpenter who insists ghosts aren't real, and a house that wants to prove him wrong!
