Wood You Be Vine?

Harmony Glen
by Karla Doyle
Wood You Be Vine? (Harmony Glen) by Karla Doyle
Unrated
A cozy and steamy tree-man romance set in the world of Harmony Glen!

GLEN

Once upon a time, I lived in the Harmony Glen conservation area, hidden amongst the trees. Safe, but lonely. Then monsters stepped out of the shadows and integrated with the human world. Now, my home is in town, and I’m surrounded by friendly faces. But I’m still lonely.

When I come upon an unfamiliar human frolicking in the water of the conservation area, every vine of my being flourishes. She’s the one. I feel it in every drop of sap flowing through my veins. In my roots. Could such a beautiful, delicate creature look beyond my woody exterior and see me as more than a walking, talking tree?

NAOMI

One day, I’m living paycheck to paycheck in a tiny apartment that doesn’t even have a tub to indulge my love of water, and the next, I’m the new owner of a very old house in Harmony Glen, bequeathed to me by a relative I didn’t know I had.

Not only does the house have more than one soaker-sized bathtub, it’s a short walk from a stunning conservation area with waterfalls and natural pools. For the first time in my life, I feel like I belong somewhere. The more I go through my long-lost relative’s belongings, the more I understand why.

Generations-old family secrets aren’t the only thing I’ve unearthed since arriving. I know I’m not alone while exploring my love of water in the conservation area. I’ve seen the monster in the trees—the monster who is one of the trees—watching me. But I’m not afraid because I’m as drawn to the tree-man as I am to the water, and that has to mean something.


* * * *
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.

Karla grew up in a small town on the north shore of Lake Erie. She trained and worked in the fashion industry for over two decades, before embracing the writing muse.

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.

Read more ...

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.
