Small Towns. Big Laughs. Cozy Vibes.
Welcome! I write stories that make you snort-laugh at the worst moment, root shamelessly for the couple from page one, and immediately want to move to a small town where everyone knows your name — and your business.
Find Your Next Favorite Small Town
Five best friends pool their savings to rescue a crumbling 1924 Victorian estate on Lake Lovelace — and turn it into a boutique wedding venue called The Vow. Across five interconnected standalones, the renovation races forward, a found family deepens, and each woman falls for a man who challenges everything she thought she knew about love.
In the quintessential New England town of Charmwell, Vermont, three cousins each carry a magical "curse" tied to their emotions and the town's land. But as each one falls in love, they discover their curse isn't a burden — it's the truest language of their heart.
Erin Hartwell writes stories that make you snort-laugh at the worst possible moment, root shamelessly for the couple from page one, and immediately want to move to a small town where everyone knows your name (and your business).
Her books blend cozy, modern small-town charm with big emotional heart — the perfect escape for readers who want romance that feels like a cozy blanket on a rainy afternoon. Her stories are closed door but not squeaky clean — real people with real chemistry who just happen to keep steamy things off the page.
She writes across two worlds: sweet contemporary romance packed with quirky community characters and laugh-out-loud moments, and cozy paranormal romance that brings the same signature heart and humor with just a little magic woven in.
Whether she's writing contemporary or paranormal, cozy rom-com or cozy mystery, Erin's voice stays consistent: stories rooted in community, connection, humor, and the belief that love is always worth the chaos it causes.
