‘A thrilling, heart-stealing historic romp and achingly romantic.’ M.A. Kuzniar, bestselling author of Midnight in Everwood

‘A heartwarming tale of forbidden love that captured my heart from its opening page… Unputdownable.’ Sunday Times bestselling author Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York

Oxford 1360

When his sister’s betrothed vanishes the night before her politically arranged marriage, Raff Barden must track and return the elusive groom to restore his family’s honour.

William de Foucart — known to his friends as Penn — had no choice but to abandon his intended, and with it his own earldom, when he fled the night before his enforced marriage. But ill-equipped to survive on the run, he must trust the kindness of a stranger, Raff, to help him escape.

Unaware their fates are already entwined, the men journey north. But amidst the snow-capped forests, an unexpected bond deepens into a far more precious relationship, one that will test all that they hold dear. And when secrets are finally revealed, both men must decide what they will risk for the one they love…

For fans of Stephanie Garber, Freya Marske, TJ Klune
