Pansies – Hall Alexis (2024)

Alfie Bell is fine: he has a six-figure salary, a penthouse, the car he promised himself at eighteen, and a group of sophisticated London friends. Going back to his hometown is harder now that everyone knows he is a pansy. He thought he had escaped the town and the lie he lived there years ago, and it is the last place where he expects to meet anyone. Then he encounters Fen, who is gorgeous, wears pink-tipped hair and hipster glasses, and runs a flower shop filled with the kind of courage Alfie has never had. It should be a one-night affair, but Alfie has never met anyone like Fen before. Except that he has: at school, when Alfie was everything he was supposed to be and Fen was the stubborn gay boy who refused to keep his head down. Despite their growing connection, Fen will never truly forgive him. Fen wants only to live his life, while Alfie wants to make things right. But how can he be anything other than another heartbreak waiting to happen when the only thing they share is the nowhere town they both spent their lives trying to escape? This emotional LGBTQIA+ romance includes previously unpublished content and exclusive bonus material.
