My Feral Romance

A painter in need of a model.

A matchmaker seeking a subject.

An arrangement that will tangle their hearts.

Fae shifter Daphne has landed the opportunity of a lifetime: illustrating her favorite author’s steamy romance novels. If only she could master male physiques…and other essential anatomy. What she needs is a model. Yet how does the socially awkward fae with a tendency to bite find a man she can comfortably paint in the nude?

Self-proclaimed matchmaker Monty Phillips is a hopeless romantic…but only when it comes to others. Meddling in the love lives of strangers via his popular advice column keeps romance a safe distance away. Yet when he’s tasked with demonstrating his tips on modern courtship, he’ll need to step out from behind the pen and into someone’s love life.

And he knows just the perfect plaything.

The last time Daphne saw Monty, he broke her heart and discarded their friendship. Now he wants to drag her into one of his idiotic matchmaking games—where she’s the subject! But when he promises to pose as her model in exchange, she can’t refuse. At least it’s only temporary. If he’s the expert he claims to be, she can replace him with a lover in no time.

Painting sessions and flirting lessons commence, rekindling their friendship. But when instructional seduction turns their platonic spark into burning desire, will either have the courage to fan the flames?

Cozy Pairings

Each pairing is chosen to create a cozy moment where scent, story, and craft come together.
Vanilla & Cashmere

Vanilla & Cashmere is a soft and luxurious fragrance that blends creamy vanilla with warm sandalwood, gentle musk, and smooth cashmere notes. Subtle and refined, this scent feels clean, comforting, and quietly indulgent. The warmth of vanilla is balanced by light woods and soft musk, creating a smooth, layered aroma that lingers beautifully without overpowering. It brings a sense of calm and ease to any space, like wrapping yourself in something soft at the end of the day.

Why we chose this: A romance author whose imagination vastly exceeds her bedroom experience, trapped in a magic-fueled bet with an infuriating fae rival during a dueling book tour. A painter who needs a model and a matchmaker who volunteers for reasons he tells himself are entirely professional. These are warm, funny, genuinely tender stories about people falling for each other while pretending very hard that they are not. Vanilla + Cashmere carries the soft, enveloping warmth of a series this charming, quietly indulgent and entirely irresistible. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth of vanilla and sandalwood fill the room like an afternoon in the faelands where the wine is dangerously good and the feelings are getting out of hand.
