The Lantern Path at Dusk (Rosehill Tea House, Book Two)
A cozy fantasy filled with a magical tea shop, a small-town witch, a visiting Memory Fair, found family, slow-burn romance, and a gentle, low-stakes mystery.
When a traveling Memory Fair rolls into Rosehill promising "bottled recollections," Marigold Everleigh refuses to turn the tea house into a souvenir stand. But when borrowed memories start to cling, lanterns "forget" a bend in the path, and a child mixes two days that never met, Marigold and archivist Rowan must steady the town's mind-cups first, chairs second, consent always. With Remembrance Blend on the boil, Anchor Voices at the ready, and a ritual that puts people before spectacle, Rosehill learns how to welcome wonder without losing itself.
