Vanna Woods Books
Vanna Woods is a cozy romantasy author, with her first novella releasing this October! But if you just can't wait, feel free to back her Kickstarter for an early copy.
Foxes & Frosting
A bubbly kitsune baker. A brooding, cursed oni. And the cozy little bakery that just might be the key to breaking his curse.
In the magical town of Willowmere, Kana’s bakery is known for its cozy atmosphere, warm bread, and iconic pink cupcakes. A kitsune who followed her love of baking halfway across the world, Kana has built a sweet, independent life—until a cursed oni crashes into it.
Kuro is dangerous, powerful, and terrified of what he becomes when he loses control. Bound by a cruel curse and watched by Willowmere’s protectors, he expects only fear and rejection. Instead, Kana offers him a job in her bakery—and a chance to be seen as more than a monster.
They soon settle into early morning routines baking bread and sharing quiet smiles before the town wakes. But when the curse threatens to consume Kuro entirely, Kana must risk her magic—and her heart—to save him.
Perfect for fans of cozy romantasy with slow-burn romance, small-town magic, cute fox antics, and a love strong enough to break even the darkest curse.
Tales of Love & Lore
Magic & Mochas is the first novella in the Tales of Love & Lore series, which will be 6+ stand-alone but interconnected novellas, set in the small magical town of Willowmere. Each book can be enjoyed by itself, though you'll see characters from other books pop up in each book, and they may be more enjoyable when read in order as you follow each character on their journey.
Each story will feature a new romance between all sorts of magical folk, including witches, werewolves, fae, elves, mermaids, angels, vampires, sylphs, and more!
Magic & Mochas
A cozy romantasy full of charm, coffee, and unexpected sparks.
Fake dating a grumpy shadowmancer wasn’t part of the business plan…and neither was falling in love.
Three days after hexing her ex’s underwear drawer, Clove Morelli returns to the magical town of Willowmere with nothing but her grimoire, her sassy feline familiar, and a dream she’s finally ready to chase: opening her very own enchanted coffee shop.
The only problem? The charming old café she buys comes with a surprise tenant in the upstairs apartment—Thorne, a handsome and mysterious shadowmancer with scars, secrets, and no intention of moving out. But when her ex suddenly shows up in town, Clove blurts out a desperate lie: she’s already moved on...with Thorne. Much to her shock, the reclusive mage agrees to play along—on one condition: he gets to stay in the apartment, rent-free.
Thorne goes above and beyond; working in her shop, taking her on a date to the pumpkin patch, and helping her develop new drinks for the upcoming Halloween Masquerade Ball. But as sparks fly between them over pumpkin-spiced lattes and shadow-drenched secrets, Clove begins to wonder if their fake romance might just be becoming all too real.
Perfect for fans of small-town magic, slow-burn romance, grumpy-sunshine couples, and cozy vibes, Magic & Mochas is a heartwarming standalone novella full of charm, wit, and witchy wonder.
