Paws & Potions: A Cozy Paranormal Romance

The Maplewood Cozy Paranormal Romances Book 1

De: R.F. Price

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A freshly single witch. A gruff werewolf sheriff. A mouthy familiar. When Maplewood’s autumn festival needs saving, will a second chance at life open the door to a second chance at love?

After a painful divorce, Rowan Blythe returns to the postcard-perfect town of Maplewood to reopen her grandmother’s potion bakery, The Cauldron & Crumb. Her magic is gentle and delicious—comfort-food potions that warm the heart and stir sweet memories (starting with her signature Memory Mocha). The plan is simple: keep her head down, rebuild her life, and avoid feelings as much as possible.

Enter Kane Wilder, Maplewood’s new sheriff—a stoic, broad-shouldered werewolf with a protective streak and zero patience for magical mishaps. When odd little enchantments begin to tangle the bakery’s prep for the Autumn Moon Festival Brew-Off, Kane steps in to keep the peace…and keeps bumping into Rowan in the process. Forced proximity becomes comfortable teamwork; comfortable teamwork becomes lingering looks that feel suspiciously like hope.

As the fairy lights go up and the leaves turn gold, Rowan and Kane uncover the source of the cozy chaos, restore the town’s marquee event, and discover that the bravest kind of magic is letting someone in. With a wisecracking, sentient black cat named Hecuba offering commentary from the counter, Maplewood proves that home isn’t a place—it’s the people (and familiars) who choose you.

Expect:

• Small-town charm, found family, and a bakery you’ll wish were real
• A slow-burn, clean romance between a thirty-something witch and a forty-something werewolf sheriff
• Cozy autumn vibes—cinnamon, cocoa, fairy lights, and falling leaves
• Light, low-stakes magical intrigue (mystery flavor, not a whodunit)
• A witty, talking cat familiar who steals scenes (and scones)
• No profanity, no gore, no on-page spice—just warmth, humor, and heart

Perfect for fans of paranormal cozy romance with bakery settings, witchy heroines, protective shifters, and charming communities where every book feels like wrapping up in a soft sweater.
