A Cozy Monster Romance with Bread, Chickens, and One Very Jealous Dragon

When former city girl Liana Reyes trades skyscrapers for chickens in the sleepy little town of Harmony Glen, she expects peace, quiet, and maybe a little dirt under her nails. What she gets instead is a runaway flock, a mysterious dragon egg, and her gruff, enormous, and startlingly attractive neighbor: a lion-man war veteran who runs the local vet clinic and has the emotional range of a rock.

Roarke doesn’t need complications. He’s got enough to manage with injured chimeras, emotional scars from a galactic war, and now—thanks to Liana—a baby dragon that insists on living in a chicken coop. He tells himself he’s only helping because of the dragon. And the chickens. And maybe the way she bakes warm, sweet ube pandesal with cheese when she’s nervous.

She’s sunshine and chaos. He’s claws and caution.

But when feelings sneak in like stray animals, neither of them is prepared for what comes next.

Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy, monster romance, small-town charm, and slow-burn warmth with a sprinkle of heat, a snarky dragon baby, and enough banter to bake a second batch of pandesal.

Though they once lived in secret, “monsters” have inhabited the earth as long as humans. As technology advanced by leaps and bounds, the ability to remain hidden dwindled. Earth’s nonhuman creatures faced a choice: allow themselves to be discovered, or step forward and introduce themselves. Either option could have ended badly for monsters and humans alike—and in some places, it did.

But not in Harmony Glen.

After The Great Revelation, Harmony Glen welcomed monsters with open arms. This small, lakeside town in Upstate New York is now home to humans and nonhumans! Integration has been so successful in Harmony Glen, the town even changed its motto to “Come for the harmony, stay for the happily ever after.”

Welcome to Harmony Glen. We know you’re going to love it here.

Each book in the Harmony Glen multi-author series is a standalone cozy romance with a happily ever after! The books can be enjoyed in any order.

Harmony Glen

Harmony Glen is a lakeside town where humans and monsters quietly rebuilt trust after the world changed. After The Great Revelation, creatures once forced to hide now walk open roads, share dinner tables, and fall in love in broad daylight. But peace rarely arrives without complications.

In this cozy fantasy romance series you follow characters who are more than their species. A witch, a Gorgon, a single mom, a grumpy monster, each carries scars: emotional, physical, sometimes magical. The streets of Harmony Glen might feel warm in daylight, the air still at ease, but at night fears stir, magic pulses, and hearts ache for acceptance.

The first book, Hiss and Tell, pulls you in with Aspen, a mother trying to shield her child from disappointment, and Sebastian, the shy snake-haired librarian whose touch brings her more than comfort. Their fake-dating contract unravels under real longing, hidden magic, and truths too powerful to ignore. Later stories explore other kinds of romance: found family, healing, and learning to trust beyond what the eye can see.

What makes this world resonate is how ordinary meets extraordinary. The monster next door might have venomous snakes, horns, claws, or arcane gifts, but in Harmony Glen they also have insecurities, dreams, and fiercely loyal hearts. The atmosphere shifts between tender domestic scenes and sharp magical stakes, with both character growth and steamy encounters woven together.

Every book is a standalone romance with a guaranteed happy ending, so you can dive in anywhere and still feel the magic. Harmony Glen invites you to believe that love does not erase differences, it embraces them, sometimes more boldly than magic itself.
