'Charming . . . A romance that, gently and pleasantly, asks questions about power and its uses.' The New York Times 'I have rarely read a book so charming...Violet Thistlewaite might not be a villain anymore, but she's definitely stolen my heart.' Ashley Poston , New York Times bestselling author of Sounds Like Love 'An irresistibly delightful cosy fantasy' Sarah Beth Durst , New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop 'Pure magic!' Jenna Levine , USA Today bestselling author of My Roommate is a Vampire She traded curses for carnations. But old magic dies hard... Guy Shadowfade is dead, and Violet Thistlewaite is out of a job. After a lifetime as the dark sorcerer's right-hand witch, she's ready to turn over a new leaf. And this time, she wants to sprout peonies instead of poison. The quiet town of Dragon's Rest seems like the perfect place to start over. Violet opens a flower shop, swears off dark magic, and does her best to be...good. Even if her reputation - and her mildly homicidal, sentient houseplant - make that tricky. Her vibrant bouquets soon charm the locals, but nothing she does seems to impress the grumpy (and infuriatingly gorgeous) Nathaniel Marsh, the alchemist she's forced to share a greenhouse with. But when a strange blight begins to rot the roots of Dragon's Rest, Violet and Nathaniel must work together - through their fears, pasts, and growing feelings - to save the town. And as old secrets start to surface, Violet can't help but wonder: does a former villain like her truly deserve a happily-ever-after? A heartwarming cosy fantasy, perfect for fans of Assistant to the Villain and Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries . Tropes: ? Cosy Fantasy Romance ? Small-Town ? Low spice ? Villain Redemption ARC ? Only One (b?e?d?) Greenhouse ? Found Family ? Grumpy x Sunshine Praise for Violet Thistlewaite is Not a Villain Anymore : 'What an addictive and immersive debut!

Emily Krempholtz's wonderfully assured debut, absolutely charmed me' India Holton , internationally bestselling author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels 'I absolutely adored this cosy, magical gem of a book!
