A bubbly kitsune baker. A brooding, cursed oni. And the cozy little bakery that just might be the key to breaking his curse.

In the magical town of Willowmere, Kana’s bakery is known for its cozy atmosphere, warm bread, and iconic pink cupcakes. A kitsune who followed her love of baking halfway across the world, Kana has built a sweet, independent life—until a cursed oni crashes into it.

Kuro is dangerous, powerful, and terrified of what he becomes when he loses control. Bound by a cruel curse and watched by Willowmere’s protectors, he expects only fear and rejection. Instead, Kana offers him a job in her bakery—and a chance to be seen as more than a monster.

They soon settle into early morning routines baking bread and sharing quiet smiles before the town wakes. But when the curse threatens to consume Kuro entirely, Kana must risk her magic—and her heart—to save him.

Perfect for fans of cozy romantasy with slow-burn romance, small-town magic, cute fox antics, and a love strong enough to break even the darkest curse.
