Fixing the Grumpy Pumpkin King
(2025)(The first book in the Gods of the Seasons series)
A novel by Morrigan Black
There's a six-foot-five autumn deity with a literal pumpkin for a head living in my grandmother's mystical shop, and Lord Mabon is the most difficult roommate I've ever had.
I'm supposed to be running the place while Grandma's on a cruise: selling candles, tarot cards, and sage bundles to tourists. Simple. Except now I've got a deity who doesn't understand modern dating, a nonchalant cat named Pumpkin who's unimpressed by both of us, and zero clue how to explain the forests materializing in the stockroom.
Mabon is offended by inflatable yard decorations. He conjures thrones in inconvenient places. His idea of courtship involves dramatic pronouncements and way too much eye contact. He's teaching me magic I didn't know I had, which would be great if he weren't so insufferably superior about it.
Here's the catch: He leaves at midnight on Halloween. Back to whatever realm spawned him, and I'll never see him again.
I should be relieved. I've got a shop to run, a best friend who's threatened to fight him twice, and zero interest in divine relationship drama after my ex dumped me.
The problem is, somewhere between the courting disasters and the autumn magic, I started falling for the bastard.
And I'm running out of time to figure out if what we have is real or if I'm just the last bit of entertainment before he disappears forever.
Fixing the Grumpy Pumpkin King is a light gothic MM fantasy romance featuring an anxious warlock discovering his power, a deity who's terrible at feelings, accidental supernatural roommates, a cat who judges everyone equally, autumn magic, emotional depth wrapped in sarcasm, and an HEA that requires both of them to be brave. Medium heat with crude language. Perfect for fans of grumpy/sunshine, cozy paranormal with bite, and "I hate you" to "I'd choose you every time."
Genre: Gay Romance
