Description

The cost to enter the Fount is steep. The price of failure is everything.

Nothing matters more to farmer Evangeline Lovette than taking care of her seven-year-old sister. Evan blames herself for the tragedy that took their mother’s life, so it’s the least she can do. When Evan learns her little sister has terminal cancer, her fragile world is shattered. She refuses to watch another person she loves die, and nothing will stop her from embarking on a dangerous quest to save her sister. All it takes is securing a lifesaving Immersion in the Fount, a magical spring known to pause aging and cure the impossible.

There’s just one problem.

The Fount is ensconced deep within the palace of the Conquistador, Florida’s brutal ruler of more than five hundred years. Even worse, only those with enough pesos are granted access—money Evangeline doesn’t have.

Con man Rafe Roldan relishes supplying fake identities to Florida’s downtrodden, offering a foot into elite society. Haunted by atrocities he suffered as a youth under the Conq’s regime, Rafe will do anything to subvert the tyrant’s reign. When he crosses paths with Evangeline, he makes a snap decision that results in the most dangerous con: defying the Conquistador and scamming their way into the Fount.  

For Evangeline and Rafe, the cost to enter the Fount is steep, but the price of failure is everything, including the one thing they never expected to want: each other. 

Fount and Fortune is a dual-point-of-view, slow-burn dystopian romantic fantasy set in an alternate version of modern-day Florida. Perfect for romantasy fans of Carissa Broadbent, Rachel Gillig, and Danielle L. Jensen. 

Note: Fount and Fortune ends on a cliffhanger, but stay tuned for Book Two, Fount and Fury, with a guaranteed HEA.
