Charlotte loves tea as much as the next person, but she never expected a magical teapot to choose her husband. When eccentric businessman and magician Martin Steepe hosts a tea party to find a wife, Charlotte doesn't expect to be chosen. After all she's only a baker's daughter aspiring to be a penny blood author and the Steepes want to marry into nobility. Except he does choose her. With enchanted tea leaves. Unfortunately for Charlotte he doesn't even know her name let alone that she isn't nobility. And she isn't entirely certain having the same favorite tea is a good basis for a marriage. As their awkward courtship evolves, she finds herself falling for Mr. Steepe's honesty, his charming magic, and the tea he sells. But then his cousin discovers the truth of her standing and refuses to let Martin marry a commoner. With the fate of the Steepe Family fortune at stake, he is determined to end the engagement through whatever magical and non-magical means necessary. If she doesn't put an end to his scheming he will ruin her engagement. If the truth doesn't first.
