How I Accidentally Became a Dragon Keeper - Stina Hale

You don't expect much excitement in your quiet garden until the day a dragon suddenly appears among the flowers.

When Eliza Whitaker inherits her great-aunt's cottage, she expects a fresh start, a little quiet, and maybe a lot of weeds. What she doesn't expect is a garden locals whisper about, flowers that never seem to fade... or the warm pulse beneath the soil that changes everything.

As Eliza settles into her new life, she discovers that the garden responds not to ownership or attention-but to care. And when its long-sleeping magic wakes, it leaves her with an impossible responsibility: a baby dragon who should not exist, and a secret that does not want to be seen.

With a charmingly infuriating journalist circling for a story and a garden that seems determined to test her boundaries, Eliza must decide what's worth protecting-and what it means to stay.

A cozy fantasy romance about quiet magic, chosen care, and how I accidentally became a dragon keeper.
