Cathlynn’s Media Muffins
The old monastery where Cathlynn’s forced to stay if she wants to recover a family heirloom is cold and creepy. To make things worse, the only servant left is ancient and doesn’t care much for cooking—until Cathlynn shows him some new recipes and convinces him to try them out. Freshly baked muffins help tame reporters hungry for a story in Blackmailed Bride. Homemade pizza helps to thaw out Jonas and get him talking. That simple meal brings warmth to their relationship. Food deepens their intimacy. All in all, this isn’t a low-calorie story. Good thing they’re consumed vicariously.
