The Dragon's Reluctant Accountant
A Cozy Fantasy Romance

About this book:

Humphrey Parnassus doesn't slay dragons—he audits them. When a summons sealed with a claw-print arrives demanding he inventory the hoard of Lord Valerius, a Great Red who hasn't filed taxes in four centuries, Humphrey packs his ledgers, his rulers, and his very best quills. Forty sovereigns a week plus percentages is too lucrative to refuse, even if the workplace is a volcanic caldera and the client considers "filing system" a mortal insult.

Valerius is ancient, arrogant, and utterly baffled by a man who treats a mountain of cursed gold and melted chalices as a formatting error. Humphrey is fastidious, fearless, and entirely unimpressed by threats of immolation. As they clash over depreciation schedules and numismatic grades, the ledger reveals more than missing bullion—it uncovers a conspiracy targeting the dragon's crown, a relic that whispers in the dark, and a vulnerability neither expected. Somewhere between the soot-stained receipts and the tea brewed over dragonfire, professional duty catches fire.

*The Dragon's Reluctant Accountant* is a cozy fantasy romance where the slow burn is literal, the banter is sharp as a dragon's claw, and the greatest treasure isn't gold—it's finding someone who balances your books and steals your heart. Perfect for fans of *Legends & Lattes* and *The House in the Cerulean Sea* who want their fantasy with more double-entry bookkeeping and fewer dark lords.
