Description

'Tender and gallant…Beautiful and romantic.' Ashley Herring Blake

To win her heart, she'll have to fight…

Oxfordshire 1362

When Lily Barden discovers her best friend Johanna’s hand in marriage is being awarded as the main prize at a tournament, she is determined to stop it. Disguised as a knight, she infiltrates the contest, preparing to fight for Jo’s hand. But her conduct ruffles feathers, and when a dangerous incident escalates out of Lily’s control, Jo must help her escape.

Finding safety with a local brewster, Lily and Jo soon settle into their new freedom, and amongst blackberry bushes and lakeside walks an unexpected relationship blossoms. But when Jo’s past catches up with her and Lily’s reckless behaviour threatens their newfound happiness, both women realise that choices must always come at a cost. The question they need to ask is if the cost is worth the price of love…

Perfect for fans of Freya Marske, Alexis Hall and Casey McQuiston?

'Heartbreakingly tender' Cat Sebastian

'A delightful friends-to-lovers slow burn romance' M.N. Bennet

Published Reviews

Publisher's Weekly Review

A woman's quest to help her friend avoid marriage leads to a dangerous escape across the English countryside in Denny's exhilarating follow-up to One Night in Hartswood. In 14th-century Oxfordshire, Lily Barden is determined to stop her friend Johanna "Jo" de Foucart from being forced into marriage, so she disguises herself as a knight to enter a jousting tournament where competitors vie for Jo's hand. But when Lily is injured while competing and Jo stabs a man who she believes wants to harm Lily, they must quickly flee the consequences. After a harrowing journey, they find refuge with a female brewer who offers to board them in her barn loft in exchange for help with chores. As Lily and Jo's friendship gradually deepens into a sweet attraction, they wonder how to carve out a future where they can be together despite societal expectations. Denny expertly captures how her heroines' tentative exploration of their feelings develops into true love. Readers of queer romance and those looking for historical love stories outside of the Regency period will be well pleased. (Nov.)
