"In an aging Victorian on a tree-lined street in Oldetowne, the Brackenbridge witches have practiced the craft for generations in a circle unbroken—until the chain was passed to her.
Ousted from her coven, hurting for clients, and struggling to keep her aging family home from falling into disrepair, painfully awkward witch Ladybug is at the end of her rope. When she rents the attic bedroom to an unsmiling, spider-like araneaen, she hopes her fortunes are making a change for the better. But Ladybug knows nothing about the secretive spider-folk; not what they eat, what goddess they worship—or anything about their mating needs. The blustery winds of Autumn usher in the rain and the second harvest . . . and a strangely enticing smell that seems to permeate the seams of Ladybug's very existence. The darkness beyond her bedroom door hungers, and she is helpless to offer herself up as its feast.
The Wheel of the Year is a monster romance series of short vignettes featuring a neurodivergent FMC and a non-human MMC, centered around the witch's sabbaths.

"Hexennacht is the Night of Witches, Samhain's calendar twin. A night of revelry and dancing, of bonfires and sisterhood . . . but it had been on another Hexennacht when her fortunes changed. Cast from the ancient circle, dispossessed of belonging. A solitary witch, practicing her craft alone . . . at least, until the day Anzan arrived at her door.
She never expected to fall in love with the quiet Araneaen upstairs, and could not have foreseen how easily he would spin his web around her heart.
When Anzan's future in Cambric Creek and their happiness is threatened, Ladybug has no choice but to open a door from the past and let a familiar face back into her life. Stepping outside her comfort zone is the last thing in the world she wants to do, particularly when she and Anzan are so happy in their insulated little bubble . . . but if she doesn't act, the bubble may burst beyond her control.
This high heat, cozy monster romance features a neurodivergent witch FMC and a non-human spider-like MMC and takes place within the Cambric Creek Universe.

"Sumi is on top of the world. Well, as on top as one can be after learning a relative one never met has died, leaving one a small fortune. Taking this as a sign to follow her dreams, quitting her job, moving to Cambric Creek, and opening a flower shop is the obvious move. Applying for franchise ownership with a flower conglomerate seems so easy—they provide the equipment, the distribution contracts, and all she needs to do is front the money. But she didn't realize chasing after her dream might cause someone else to lose hold of their own.
Ranar never wanted to inherit the family business. There's an enormous pressure to keep his family business going . . . but as it is, brick and mortar flower shops are a notion of a bygone era. When an online flower conglomerate opens a shop in Cambric Creek, Ranar knows it's only a matter of time before he's forced to close the door. It doesn’t matter how pretty or how friendly the owner seems—she represents everything wrong in the industry, in his world. Sumi knows there's room for two flower shops in Cambric Creek, if only the owner of The Perfect Petal wasn't such an infuriatingly handsome jerk. When she joins an online server for local business owners, she decides it's the perfect opportunity to take Ranar down . . . if she doesn't wind up falling for him first.

At least she can count on her friends to help her . . . at least, she thinks she can.
Ris isn't sure how she managed to get so lucky. Ainsley is everything she wants, and she's ready to be the best bridesmaid. But when his support system vanishes, the Ainsley she loves seems to disappear overnight. In his place is an orc who wants more than Ris thinks she's prepared to give.

"The Azathé Tea Room is a strange place. There are no servers, no menus—do mind our hostess, though, she can get a bit underfoot! Help yourself to a book while you wait, and be sure to shuffle your tarot deck well before placing your order.
Harper Hollingsworth wasn't looking for a friend. She wanted peace and quiet. Someplace to lose herself in a book and not think about being a misfit; not think about her coven or her disconnect from the craft as her mother taught it. She didn't want to think about her lack of magical ambition, as she was regularly told by her mother's poison-tongued familiar, and more than that—she didn't want to feel. Anything.
Companionship wasn't her aim the day she stepped into the odd little tea room. She wanted to settle into the shadows and get lost there, and if she had to talk to anyone, it would be to herself.
The shadowy proprietor of the Azathé Tea Room isn't content to watch Harper sink into depression within the walls of their establishment. Once they intervene, Harper is drawn into their world of oddity and emotions, where the darkest shadows can reside in the light, and even the most mildly macabre witch can find her place.

"Eleanor Eastwick is out of tricks. This alleged wallflower is hiding a secret, beyond the fact that her family is skint broke. If she wants to ensure the survival of her aged grandmother and younger siblings, she'll need to leverage the only thing they have left—their good name—and land herself a rich husband.

But Silas did not count on one Eleanor Eastwick. She had shone like a star when he knew her years earlier, and she did once again in his study, leaving him unable to deny his assistance.

"Morning Glory Milking Farm was just another quick tug—machine operated facility, no different from all the rest. Sure, they had big pharma money and special hands-on amenities the other milking joints couldn't boast, but at the end of the day it was the same old story—cash he didn't actually need in the bank, all for doing what he would have done for free anyway. Get in, get out, get on with his day. At least, that's what he thought.

Fall in love all over again with Violet & Rourke's romance . . . from the other side of the milking table.
