Stalked by the Kraken

A matchmaking witch, an ancient sea creature, and the sex contract they make.

Welcome to the Love Bathhouse where desire and acceptance are in the water.

The Witch

Celibacy is a bad look for a matchmaker.

Especially a matchmaker who works at the kind of paranormal bathhouse that would have grandmothers clutching their pearls.

A worse look is a matchmaker experiencing a crisis of confidence.

I am that matchmaker.

We need raw magic, desperately.

And now a mysterious man walks into my office, offering me the exact solution I need.

The problem is that he wants to be matched… with me.

Matching doesn’t work for me; I found that out the hard way.

The Kraken

I saw her and the creature inside me wanted.

She doesn’t want a relationship. She says that the most we can have are the three nights she promised me, but the dark part of myself isn’t going to let the woman who snared its attention go.

I found her. I hunted her. She’s mine.

Cozy Pairings

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

Kraken is a deep and woodsy fragrance that blends weathered driftwood with rich tobacco and worn leather. Smooth and grounding, this scent carries a subtle saltiness balanced by warm, earthy notes that create a sense of depth and character. The combination feels both rugged and refined, with a softness that lingers in the air. Layered and atmospheric, it feels expansive while remaining warm and inviting.

Why we chose this: A matchmaking witch and a kraken who found her. A curvy librarian and three gargoyles who were not what she expected. A human cursed by a magical book and the two basilisks with answers. A thief who broke into a dragon's hoard and walked away with more than she planned. These stories are set in a world where ancient, powerful creatures keep finding their way to the humans who are exactly right for them, and the sea, the shadows, and the old magic are always present. Kraken carries the deep, weathered, open-water atmosphere of a series where desire is as vast and ancient as the creatures themselves, salt-worn driftwood and rich tobacco and the scent of something that has been waiting in the depths for a very long time. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the atmospheric depth fill the room like a bathhouse where the magic runs in the water and the matches are never quite what anyone expected.
