Haunted by love. Bound by duty.

After inheriting his fatherโ€™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 โ€“ even with his lover long-since dead โ€“ 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 heโ€™s the perfect choice to grant her the freedom she needs to be the person she is โ€“ be that lady, lord, or something else entirely.

Agreeing to enter a marriage of convenience, their plan is set โ€ฆ until a roadside attack thrusts a familiar face back into Ashโ€™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 canโ€™t deny his growing affection for Agnes too. Now Ash must ask himself: can one heart truly be pledged to two people?

About the Author

Emma Denny won the Mills & Boon and RNA Romance Includes Everyone competition in 2021. She submitted her first manuscript to a publisher when she was eight and a half and was astonished when it was rejected. Thankfully, that didn't put her off. After completing a degree in English & Creative Writing, Emma became a professional copywriter and now spends all day-literally-writing. Living on the edge of a forest, Emma enjoys exploring the wilderness while thinking through her latest plot tangle, scouting out exciting craft ales and indulging in historical romances.
