She walked away from the life she was born to live. Now she has one chance to build the life she's always wanted.

Indigo Briggs was one of the most feared tarot mages in the business—until a job went wrong and she walked away from it all. Now she's in Fairhaven, a quirky supernatural town with secrets of its own, trying to build something quieter: a tea shop, a fresh start, and a life she might actually deserve.

The only problem? Her new venture needs funding she doesn't have.

Enter Boone Fincher—charming, infuriatingly handsome, and in desperate need of a fake fiancée. His father's will requires him to marry a mage with a powerful lineage, and Boone is running out of time. The arrangement is strictly business: Indy gets the money she needs, Boone gets his inheritance, and when it's over, they part ways.

Simple.

Except nothing about this is simple. Between a blind vampire with unsettling insight, a revenant who likes to lend a hand, a mysterious bone monster that wanders through the crossroads, and a ghost from her old life determined to unravel everything she's built, Indy is starting to suspect the universe has a plan she didn't envision.

Then the past she thought she'd escaped comes looking for her, and Indigo must decide whether she's willing to risk everything for the future she's finally begun to imagine—one that includes a love that was never supposed to be real.

Tea and Tarot is a Crossroads Queen Side Quest Novel—an enchanting cozy urban fantasy standalone with fake dating, witty banter, found family, and the slow-burn realization that happily-ever-afters are worth believing in.
