Description

A woman with nothing to hide—except the truth—meets a man with nothing to lose—except his heart. And he's just arrived in town to fire her.

Meet Pansy Little

Since her mother vanished, Apprentice Field Agent Pansy Little is the sole guardian of King's End, protecting it from a supernatural force only a select few can see. The arrival of an agent from Enclave headquarters doesn't bring relief. Instead, it means Pansy's well-crafted charade is about to collapse.

Meet Henry Darnelle

Principal Field Agent Henry Darnelle doesn't want to be in King's End, but he's been blackmailed into performing Pansy's field agent evaluation—with explicit instructions to fail her.

Distractedly handsome and unfailingly correct, he surprises Pansy—and himself—by defying orders to fire her. Instead, his curiosity is piqued by both Pansy and King's End.

Together, they investigate, unearthing intricate ties that bind their families. Together, they might even be falling in love.

But someone with a decades-old obsession is watching, maneuvering behind the scenes, someone won't rest until blood is spilled.

Welcome to King's End, where discord falls from the sky and an eccentric twenty-something patrols the streets with her pink polka-dotted umbrella. Where one misstep won't merely bring disaster—it might spark the end of the world.

The Pansy Paradox is a slow-burn, opposites-attract, contemporary romantasy filled with adventure, humor, and, of course, sentient umbrellas.
