Short Kings subverts the tall-hero convention with twelve romances featuring shorter men as leading men. Published in 2023, each book uses “King” titles — King of Her Dreams, King of the Clubhouse, King of the Nerds — to make the point that height has nothing to do with being the romantic lead. The series gained attention for challenging one of romance fiction’s most persistent physical ideals.
