Juliet Crawford doesn’t do anything by halves, so when her perfect life implodes, it does so spectacularly. In the span of a few weeks, she manages to lose her job, her apartment, and her relationship. Staying with her maddening mother is not a long-term solution, so with few options, she moves to the charming, monster friendly town of Harmony Glen, where her cousin Maggie lives.

It doesn’t take long for Juliet to settle into a fresh routine, complete with a job at Moonbeam Books, the delightful bookstore run by Spenser Nightwing, a quiet and reserved mothman. Though she loves the work, Juliet is puzzled by her boss, who often seems her opposite: taciturn to her talkativeness, nocturnal to her sun-loving nature, solitary to her need for friends. Despite their differences, late-night inventory sessions, baking experiments, and evening walks eventually shift their working relationship into something new and exciting.

With her apartment and job locked down, and romance with Spenser on the horizon, Juliet finally feels her life settling into place again—just in time for someone from her past to arrive and make her question everything. Now she has to decide: does she want to go back to what she thought was her dream life? Or has she actually found everything she ever truly desired in Harmony Glen—and in Spenser’s arms?

* * * *
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.

Full series details →

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.

Read full series description

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.
