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

🏹🏹🏹

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?

PRAISE FOR A VOW MADE TWICE:

'A steamy, addictive read with compelling characters and delicious drama – Denny’s best yet' Hari Conner, author of I Shall Never Fall in Love

'Achingly thoughtful, wonderfully romantic, complex, and tender, Denny’s world and characters leap off the page and tug at your heart. A beautiful story that proves there’s more space to love ourselves and each other than we ever thought possible. I was grinning, giggling, and cheering the whole way through’ Emma R. Alban, author of Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend

'A delightful finale to one of my favourite historical romance series of all time! Sweet, steamy, and fantastically queer, A Vow Made Twice is a beautifully romantic tale about finding one’s place in the world and learning to embrace love in all its forms, even (especially!) when we can’t quite believe we deserve it. Ash, Agnes, and Olly stole my heart, and I don’t think they’ll be returning it any time soon' C. E. McGill, author of Our Hideous Progeny

All stars

This book is something else entirely. I devoured it as fast as humanly possible, eager to spend every minute with these beloved characters but am now so saddened to have finished it so quickly. Emma Denny created some of the most incredible characters I’ve ever met - Ash (he/him), Olly (he/him) and Agnes (she/her). Through Ash we see incredible representation of ptsd and depression, through Agnes we get an exploration of gender dysphoria and a medieval version of non-binary gender identity, and through Olly physical disability is represented through his partial deafness and blindness. These characters come together in the most beautiful story of polyamory sprinkled with loss, betrayal and a murder mystery to make for a riveting story. The voice actors are also outstanding in their performance, their skill really added to the story. I could not recommend this enough.
