\"In For the Love of Hot Chocolate, Clemens has crafted the perfect cozy fantasy fairy tale infused romcom. It was delicious and delightful and now I want a baby dragon.\" --Jenn McKinlay, New York Times, USA Today, and Publisher's Weekly bestselling author of several mystery and romance series.

Is it possible for a simple cafÃ© owner and a disgruntled prince to find magic at the Snow Solstice Festival?

All Icelyn wants is for her little cafÃ© to be successful. But opening across from Mother Maude's could have been her first mistake.

Icelyn and her pet dragon have escaped the clutches of her cruel family just in time for the Snow Solstice Festival. Her best friend convinces her to accept the contract to supply her baked goods and hot cocoa for the festival.

\"It will be good for business,\" she said ...

But when Icelyn agrees to be a part of a fake relationship, her world is turned upside down ... her life and cafÃ© are sabotaged at every turn.

\"It will be good for business,\" she said ...

Icelyn watches her life and business fall apart with every decision she makes. Will she be able to save herself and her cafÃ© before they're both nothing more than crumbles from her Caramel Apple cookies?

Prince Colden should have known better. Sure he wanted his father to give him more responsibility. But to be in charge of this year's Snow Solstice Festival? That wasn't exactly what he wanted. He definitely didn't expect his father's ultimatum— the proverbial icing on the cake.

That is until his Captain of the Guard and best friend handed him a mug of hot cocoa. One sip was all it took. It was more than delicious—it was magical.

A perfect solution to his father's ultimatum. All Colden had to do was find who made the hot cocoa. Simple.

That is until he meets Icelyn. Beautiful, intelligent, stubborn. Very stubborn.

The one person capable of showing him the festival's importance to the townsfolk. His people. How easy it would be to fall in love with her. But he was already in love with someone he has yet to meet ...

Will Colden make the right choice ... Icelyn or for the love of hot cocoa?

In a realm ruled by tyranny, two sisters hold the key to freedom.

The usurper king's thirst for power knows no bounds. Crown and kingdom are not enough; he craves magic, a force only women possess. For years he has tightened his grip, stripping women of their rights and denying them access to their elemental powers through the profane ritual known as the Quickening.

Twins, Kennara and Kellesha, are blessed - or cursed - with these innate magical abilities and have been living in hiding for five harrowing years, concealing their gifts while studying under the protection of a sun-dappled university town. Their peaceful existence shatters when the king's envoys, accompanied by a mysterious scryer, descend upon the town.

Fear grips them, prompting a swift departure. Now, the twins find themselves on the run, joined by Eljin and Cas, friends whose motives remain veiled.

As destinies entwine, the group grapples with a choice that could reshape their world. Is it time to challenge the oppressive order they've known, or should they persist in the shadows, evading the relentless pursuit of the usurper king's Quickenings?

In a narrative woven with trust, romance, and the essence of choice, Stephanie K. Clemens' romantic high fantasy delves into the dynamics of twinhood, the bonds of found family, and a woman's right to wield her own magic.

Georgi has been admitted to Grantabridge University, one of only four women to achieve this honor in 1870. Finally, she can attain her life-long dream and become a barrister. Or can she ... her dream is shattered when she learns the law of Brythion prohibits women the right to claim a place in the legal world. A world ruled by men. Now what will she do?

Buy a Practicum in Perjury to discover if Georgi succeeds, or if Lotte is destined to hang!

Lady by day Bandit by Night

For six years Lady Rowan of Lockersley looked forward to the day she'd return home to the picturesque village of her childhood.

But when she and her friend, Lady Jane, rode into the village, what they saw was anything but picturesque. Not only had the village fallen into poverty but Rowan learned that her beloved father, Laird of Lockersley was dead.

With the help from her band of friends, Rowan devises a plan to take back the money her uncle stole through excessive taxes on the villagers under the dark of night and act the perfect lady by day.

That is until her uncle announces that she is to wed the victor of a tournament held in her honor.

Rowan knew she would marry but believed it would be her choice̶—marry for love or duty—not as a trophy given to a stranger.

Rowan knows she belongs with her merry band of bandits, especially the one who stole her heart. But can she keep her secrets hidden from her uncle long enough to save her village and her future?

Can she save her people before she's handed off as a prize? Will her heart lead her to duty or to the arms of her fellow bandit? And when masks fall away, which Rowan will remain—the lady or the outlaw?

When travel influencer Samantha Pierce (better known as just Sam) trades airport terminals for peeling wallpaper, she never expects her biggest adventure to begin in a small North Carolina town. Armed with a Siberian husky named Luna and a dream of restoring her very own fixer-upper, Sam purchases a ramshackle house near Lake Lure—sight unseen.

Enter Nathan Taylor, the charming young contractor who knows his way around old homes… and maybe around Sam’s heart, too. Their connection is undeniable, but so is the age gap—and Sam can’t help worrying what people will say.

As paint chips fall and sparks fly, the Maple Leaf House begins to look less like a project and more like the start of a new chapter. Together, Sam and Nathan just might discover that love, like old houses, is worth the work—one day at a time.

A heartwarming small-town romance, The Maple Leaf House is perfect for fans of fresh starts, second chances, and the kind of love that feels like home.

She only steals what must never be used. He only lies when the truth is more dangerous.

Tonight, both of them are in way over their heads.

Master thief Lilith “Lilyshade” Shaderick has made a career out of outsmarting the magical elite—always leaving a single lily behind as her calling card. But when she lifts the Amulet of Echoes from the Museum of Magical Artifacts, it isn’t for profit. The curator has been feeding the amulet forbidden spells, turning it into a ticking magical bomb, and Lily is the only one reckless—and desperate—enough to take it out of his hands.

Her plan? Vanish into a blizzard at her family’s legendary safe house, Solstice Cabin, and figure out how to drain the dark magic before anyone finds her.

Enter Patrick Doyle: charming con artist, recently dumped and nearly disintegrated by his powerful ex… who just happens to be tied to the very people hunting the amulet. Looking to lie low, he breaks into what he thinks is an empty mountain cabin and ends up flipping pumpkin spice pancakes for the most infamous cat burglar in the magical world.

Snowed in together with a volatile artifact, bounty hunters on their trail, and an ex who’s willing to burn the world down to get what she wants, Lily and Patrick have two options: trust no one and die alone—or trust each other and maybe, just maybe, live long enough to see what comes after “happily ever after.”

Amulet of Echoes is a cozy, snowed-in romantasy short story full of magical heists, banter, breakfast-for-dinner, and the dangerous hope of finding someone to fight beside.

Listen, this was supposed to be simple. Kaelin Thorn: professional assassin, expert brooder, collector of emotional scars had one mission. Kill the king. Straightforward. Efficient. The sort of thing you can check off before lunch.

But somewhere between the exploding Ale Trials, the cursed inn, and the incident with the goat. (Why are there so many goats?) Kaelin accidentally acquired a travel companion: Tobias, a bright-eyed mage with a suspiciously soft heart and a tendency to monologue about feelings. A soundtrack: Brug, a non-binary orc with a lute and lyrics. Oh, and Timber—the world’s most judgmental dog, who communicates entirely through eyebrow movements and existential sighs.

Now our dear assassin finds herself knee-deep in other people’s problems, which, as it turns out, are harder to stab than advertised. There will be quests. There will be chaos. There will be . . . feelings (and Kaelin’s tragic attempts to avoid them).

Will she save the realm? Probably not intentionally. But she might just save herself—between side quests, snark, and the occasional dagger to the heart (metaphorical or otherwise).

Side Quest is a cozy, chaotic fantasy for anyone who’s ever tried to stay on mission and ended up adopting a mage, a mutt, and a moral compass instead.

Five years before assassins, kings, and world-altering quests . . . there was a bake-off. And a very bad decision involving cheese.

Welcome to Skritch—a cozy little town famous for its Solstice Bake-Off, its strict no-magic kitchen laws, and one extremely judgmental rooster.

Finlo Quickwhisk is determined to prove he can win the competition without using magic, summoning sentient pastries, or accidentally setting anything on fire. This year will be different. This year will be respectable. This year will be savory.

Unfortunately, panic, forbidden spice magic, and a galette powerful enough to change poultry forever have other plans.

With the help of the town’s sharp-tongued cheesemonger Brenna Birchbake, a hedge-witch judge who believes in aggressive scone-based justice, and a mayor armed with emergency dairy solutions, Finlo must fix the fiery chaos he’s unleashed—preferably before he’s turned into baked goods.

The Fowl That Stole Solstice is a laugh-out-loud cozy fantasy prequel set in the world of Side Quest featuring cursed poultry, magical baking disasters, small-town mayhem, and the kind of romance that survives explosions, enchantments, and emotional damage caused by cheese.

Perfect for readers who love:

cozy fantasy with chaotic humor

magical small towns

food-based disasters

slow-burn romcom energy

and very questionable spellcasting choices

Because sometimes the greatest legends begin . . . with a pie.
