Welcome to the Nettles B&B—where the ghosts have opinions, the pixies redecorate, and every guest leaves a little changed.

Nan and Mossy Nettles have transformed their lovingly restored Victorian home in Daytona Beach, Florida, into a whimsical bed-and-breakfast filled with poetry, pastries, and the occasional haunting. But when their first elopement booking arrives—a secret garden ceremony for fire-haired bride Vivi Lane and her sea-worn fiancé Bo Folly—the couple soon discovers that some weddings come with more than butterflies.

While Nan obsesses over table settings and Mossy composes poetic vows for his officiant debut, a delicate silver music box escapes the attic trunk no one dares to clean out. Once opened, its melody stirs the house with strange emotions, bold confessions, and ghostly mischief. Guests begin to act oddly. The string quartet suffers mysterious mishaps. And Vivi finds herself haunted not just by Cordelia, the manor's resident romantic spirit, but by feelings she thought she'd buried for good.

Bithia, a Victorian spiritualist who once held the music box during a séance, recognizes its echo of unresolved sorrow—but not how to stop it. Meanwhile, Mabel, the B&B's flower whisperer, crafts wisteria crowns with the wisdom of a woman who's seen love in all its forms.

As vows are written and champagne flutes sparkle, secrets bloom among the roses—and it may take one true declaration of love to quiet the music before it unravels the day.

Set in the coastal charm of Daytona Beach and brimming with pixie chaos, heartfelt romance, and gentle mystery, Wisteria and Wedding Cake is the second full-length novel in the Nettles B&B ParaCozy Series, where every haunted heirloom holds a forgotten story… and the B&B itself just might be the most enchanted character of all.

From Chrissy Chicory—author of the Culebra Chronicles (romantasy), Lucid Living series (personal growth), and Ink and Verse handwriting workbooks—comes another soft-girl escape into beauty, mystery, and the magic of imperfect love.
