Twelve years ago I came to Oxford and fell in love with a man named Marius. He was brilliant.
An artist. It was going to be forever. But then like all beautiful things it ended... And now
there is only silence. Quietly heartbroken Edwin Tully lives alone in the house he used to
share with the man he once loved. He tends to damaged books and faded memories trying to build
a future from the fragments of the past. Then the weather turns and the river spills into
Edwin's quiet world bringing with it Adam Dacre from the Environment Agency. An unlikely
knight this stranger with roughened hands and worn wellingtons offers Edwin the hope of
something he thought he would never have again. As the two men are drawn together in their
struggle against the rising waters Edwin slowly lets down his guard as he comes to accept he
can't shield his heart from everything-and perhaps he doesn't even need to try. Because love
doesn't only leave scars...sometimes it heals them too. This lyrical moving LGBTQIA+ romance
contains never-before-seen content and exclusive bonus material-including a NEW novella
Chasing the Light following Marius as he rediscovers love and the complicated joy of being
truly alive.
