What to expect

The heart-stopping new love story from Emma Denny, following beloved characters from One Night in Hartswood and All the Painted Stars.

🏹🏹🏹

'Achingly thoughtful, wonderfully romantic, complex, and tender, Denny’s world and characters leap off the page and tug at your heart' EMMA R. ALBAN

'Sweet, steamy, and fantastically queer' C.E. MCGILL

'Bless Emma Denny for taking queer historical romance into the rarely seen Medieval Era' SMART B*TCHES, TRASHY BOOKS

🏹🏹🏹

Haunted by love. Bound by duty.

After inheriting his father’s title, Earl Ash Barden has no choice but to find a wife to ensure the family line. But Ash has pledged himself to another, and making new vows – even with his lover long-since dead – feels like the ultimate betrayal to his memory.

Skilled bowman and unconventional widow Agnes Forrett wants two things: to be true to herself, and to avoid marrying the childhood friend her family is determined will take her hand. When Ash arrives in her keep, she realises he’s the perfect choice to grant her the freedom she needs to be the person she is – be that lady, lord, or something else entirely.

Agreeing to enter a marriage of convenience, their plan is set … until a roadside attack thrusts a familiar face back into Ash’s life, and with it a choice about his future. Whilst his feelings for the ghost from his past remain as strong as ever, he can’t deny his growing affection for Agnes too. Now Ash must ask himself: can one heart truly be pledged to two people?
