Deny Me, The Nightshade Boy by Z.M. Celestaire

A cozy queer romance against the backdrop of wild and dangerous Fae magic. For fans of A Marvellous Light, Holly Black, and TJ Klune. Andrew has been haunted by the Folk ever since his mother's addiction to Fae-spelled foods. It was never his intention to fall for Micah, whose mysterious nature suggests more than just human lineage, but Micah has a certain... charm to him that Andrew finds irresistible. While their ensuing romance seems to be going well, the Folk from Micah's past demand his attention, and demand that Micah stop denying his Fae nature to harness the power in his blood.
