How Not to Tame Your Human Tease
Sugar and spice and everything naughty.
A sunless city, a magical boundary, a demon around every corner—what could be better? Nothing, if you ask bright, bubbly Brioni. In fact, being trapped in the demon realm and assigned a letter carrier position might be the best thing that’s ever happened to her, even if she is one of only six humans in the entire town. Except there’s still something missing. Something that makes her feel truly wanted. Something that’s all hers and is maybe a little…deviant. The guilt of her past life and the strain of her new one have her seeking relief that she’s sure only the gruffest, grumpiest, growliest demon can give her.
Meet Ragnar—gruff, grumpy, growly, and gray. His magic and color were lost long ago, and with them went his civility. Self-sequestered to the outskirts of his homeland, the city’s resident beastkeeper would much rather spend his time taming ferocious animals than dealing with his fellow demons. Good thing Brioni isn’t a demon because she wants to be dealt with—in fact, she insists.
Brioni is sugary sweet and endlessly frustrating—everything Ragnar is looking for in a mate. She needles him and causes mischief, and Ragnar can’t seem to get enough of her brattiness, but he also can’t wrap his tail around the fact that her teasing is genuine evidence of infatuation.
Their attraction is instantaneous, and Ragnar would like to give her the punitive satisfaction she keeps hinting at, but at what cost? Will she continue to visit his reclusive corner of the woods after she gets what she wants? Will she know she has a choice once he gives in to his own possessive and domineering desires? Ragnar would rather give her the friendship he also knows she craves than ruin everything by indulging in the monster he believes he is. Brioni, however, is determined to win Ragnar’s heart…and every other part of him, horns included. Because Ragnar lives by one rule: trespassers will be punished.
Falling for Demons is a fantasy monster romance series set in a cozy and spicy shared world by authors Laura Winter and A.K. Caggiano. Each book can be read as a standalone novel but is interconnected, following six human women and their budding romances with the demons they once feared as they settle into a monstrously magical world.

Cozy Pairings
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: Six human women, rescued from slavers and brought to a sunless city of demons who turn out to be nothing like the monsters they were taught to fear: gruff soldiers, awkward apothecaries, possessive beastkeepers, charming architects, gentle bakers, and one demon who practices magic and finds himself falling for the human who was only supposed to be pretending. These are warm, cozy, genuinely tender stories about people building lives and love in a place none of them planned to end up. Vanilla + Cashmere carries the soft, enveloping warmth of a series this full of unexpected gentleness, quietly indulgent and entirely without fuss. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth of vanilla and cashmere fill the room like a cozy cottage in a demon city where the fires are always going and everyone is slowly, carefully learning to trust.
