AlbakiReads Editorial

A marriage shaped by duty, memory, and possibility

Set in a medieval world of titles and family expectations, the novel brings Earl Ash Barden and Agnes Forrett together in a marriage of convenience. Ash is still devoted to a lover he has lost, while Agnes seeks room to live beyond the role her family has chosen for her. When a familiar figure from Ash’s past reappears, the arrangement becomes a question of how love and commitment might coexist. The story connects queer historical romance with themes of grief, self-definition, and the pressures of inheritance, while continuing the world of *One Night in Hartswood* and *All the Painted Stars*.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers of queer historical romance and medieval settings
  • Those interested in marriage-of-convenience plots and complicated romantic commitments
  • Readers familiar with Emma Denny’s earlier novels, *One Night in Hartswood* and *All the Painted Stars*

Book overview

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?
