An Inn of One's Own

Roan MacKenna never wanted to be an innkeeper.

After years of adventure and questionable enterprises, the last thing she expected was to inherit The Lantern & Latch, a countryside inn with a mind of its own. Doors open when needed, lost items reappear, and the kitchen always has a surprise simmering, much to Roan's frustration.

When a mysterious traveler arrives searching for a lost family heirloom, the inn's magic begins to draw them together in ways Roan isn't prepared for. Alongside Thom, the steadfast assistant from the nearby village, and Montgomery, a sharp-tongued cat who was once a nobleman, Roan finds herself at the heart of an unlikely household, and falling for a woman whose past is as complicated as her own.

As the seasons turn, secrets unravel, bonds deepen, and four lost souls must choose: return to the lives they knew, or embrace the family they never expected to find.

A Sapphic cozy fantasy about second chances, found family, and discovering that sometimes the best adventures happen when you finally stop running.

Cozy Pairings

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

Mahogany & Teakwood is a grounding fragrance that blends deep mahogany and oak with a touch of soft musk. Warm and woodsy, this scent feels smooth and well balanced, with a gentle depth that lingers in the air. The polished wood notes create a sense of warmth and stability, while the light musk adds a subtle softness, making the overall fragrance both bold and inviting. It brings a refined, atmospheric quality to any space, like stepping into a room filled with history and character.

Why we chose this: Roan MacKenna never wanted to be an innkeeper, and The Lantern & Latch had other ideas: doors opening when needed, lost items reappearing, and a kitchen always producing something unexpected. Mahogany + Teakwood carries the deep, grounding warmth of a space that has a personality all its own and a talent for drawing the right people together at the right time. Light this candle as Roan meets the traveler her inn has clearly been expecting, and let the rich depth of mahogany and oak fill the room like a countryside inn in autumn, where the fire is going and the house has already decided this is exactly where everyone belongs.
