Cozy Connections Volume One

Sapphic vampire sommeliers, seductive djinn, and gingerbread-loving yuki-onna! Get romanced by friendly (and very horny) monsters in this collection of low-stakes, cozy monster romance. Not all stories need to have world-ending consequences. If you're looking for a cuddly fantasy romance with a lot of extra spice, this is the collection for you.

Sip Me Slowly, Sommelier: Winemaker Sorrel Dovewood never expected her late-night tastings to include fangs, blood-elixirs, and a vampire curator whose kiss tastes like forbidden vintage.
Lamp-Light and Lipstick: What happens when a repressed folklore scholar rubs the wrong lamp? Attic dust gives way to pistachio-scented smoke as Briony Calderon summons Merrick Ashdown, a djinn who hoards wishes the way dragons hoard gold, and grants them with a wink and a vaporous tongue.
The Yuki-onna Who Stayed for Gingerbread: Nestled in a snowbound cabin where the woodstove never quite keeps up with a yuki-onna's chill, master glassblower Evren Wolfstead crafts holiday heirlooms that snow forever. His secret? The breathtaking frost-kisses of Stellan Greymoor, an ancient snow spirit who wandered in from the blizzard and decided mortal gingerbread was worth staying for.
Serpent Braids & Thigh Highs: Step into Pembroke's Petal Parlor, where the air is thick with nectar and knowing smiles. Beneath lace veils and living serpents, Liora Pembroke tends flowers that bite back, and one botanist who bites just right.
Veiled in Honey: Nestled between ancient apple trees and humming hives, Larkmere Apiary hides the sweetest secret in the valley: a basilisk who trades petrifying glances for honey-slick worship.
