"Fireheart Tiger" by Aliette de Bodard is a powerful fantasy novella in Vietnamese inspired setting.   Princess Thanh returns to her mother's court after being a hostage in another land.  Now a diplomat, she must face her first love as an adult and representative of her country.  Court Politics!  Sapphic Romance!  Colonialism!  It's evocative and lush.  It's about abuse, its ripples, and healing from it.  It's also about taking control of one's own destiny and power.  It's not a cozy, but it's intimate and introspective.
