For those who loved Legends & Lattes and Can't Spell Treason Without Tea comes a cozy Lesbian Tavern Romance about an elven innkeeper who is going to lose everything until her coworker suggests marriage as a solution to save their business and home. Running a successful inn is hard work. There are customers to check in, food to prepare, horses to stable, and much more for Lucia to juggle.

Faced with the prospect of losing her business and home, Lucia is about to panic when Lina offers an unorthodox solution: They'll get married and join their finances to pay the sudden tax. It's a wild idea that leaves the innkeeper with all sorts of conflicted emotions. And while she gratefully accepts Lina's proposal, inside Lucia is shaken to her very core.
