Prudence Marsh has always known she’s meant for more than playing violin at small-town taverns, so when she learns of an audition for a royal wedding, she knows this is it: her chance to be somebody. After years of putting everyone else first, Pru sets out to finally pursue her dreams of being a famous bard.
Callum DiCorvo, roguishly handsome cursebreaker and bandit extraordinaire, is content with his life of crime. So content, in fact, that he’s determined to keep things exactly as they are. Cheerfully thieving is all he’s good for anyway.
When Pru collides with Callum and his crew in a roadside robbery that leaves her beloved violin in splinters, she demands to travel with them until they replace it. Before long, Pru finds herself growing close to the motley bunch, especially Callum, whose sparkling banter and crooked smiles tease her like a song she can’t get out of her head.
But the bandits have stumbled upon a heist that could make all their dreams come true-breaking into the mystical Lune Vault at the palace on the same night as the wedding-leaving Pru to decide what’s more important: the dreams she’s held on to for so long, or the ones she’s building right now.
A brand-new, cosy, heartwarming fantasy romance for anyone that loves Robin Hood and Tangled. Perfect for fans of Assistant to the Villain, Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries and The Very Secret Society Of Irregular Witches.
Tropes:
?Robin Hood-style bandits
?Found Family
?Small-Town
?Forced proximity
?Road trip
?Slow burn but spicy

A book to curl up on the couch with, a fire blazing in the hearth and a cup of something warm and delicious in your hands. Emily Krempholtz' debut is lyrical and swoony and a wonderfully hopeful story of second chances that I never wanted to end. Pure magic!
An irresistibly delightful cozy fantasy filled with plant magic, love, and second chances! I absolutely loved this warm and wonderful book!
I have rarely read a book so charming! Emily Krempholtz has crafted a story sharp and lovely, vile and thoughtful, in a world full of heartwarming contradictions.
Both Violet and Nathanial stole my heart from their very first mentions, and I loved seeing them grow as individuals, then blossom together...This is bursting with magic and heart.
An enchanting blend of botany and banter, Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore brews romance, redemption, and a homicidal houseplant into an utterly irresistible potion. The perfect cozy fantasy for anyone who believes in second chances. Prepare to fall under its leafy spell!
