Neapolitan Ice Cream Sisters
Steadfast & Strawberry
A cozy fantasy of treats and time travel, with slow-burn banter and sprinkles across the centuries.
For readers who like their time travel with sprinkles, M. J. Gillbright returns to the world of Chivalry & Chocolate and Valor & Vanilla with a new standalone novel. Isolde only meant to sell strawberry iced cream across the centuries to escape an arranged marriage and a royal throne she had no desire to pursue. She did not mean to turn an abandoned castle into an inn for travelers lost in time—or develop feelings for the timekeeper issuing her citations and constantly trying to impound her shape-shifting ice cream cart.
Inside the Story
What waits by this hearth.
A Taste Across Time
Isolde only meant to sell strawberry iced cream across the centuries in order to escape an arranged marriage and royal throne she had no desire to pursue. She did not mean to turn an abandoned castle into an inn for travelers lost in time and develop feelings for the timekeeper issuing her citations and constantly trying to impound her shape-shifting ice cream cart.
Expect a standalone romance, slow-burn banter, found family assembled across time, a cozy fixer-upper, grumpy-rival-versus-sundae-making-sunshine sparks, and dessert descriptions that may cost you a trip to the freezer.
For fans of Legends & Lattes, Howl’s Moving Castle, The Spellshop, and Assistant to the Villain—and for readers who believe the right dessert, served at the right moment, can hold the whole world together.
