Twelve years ago, Edwin Tully arrived in Oxford, captivated by the brilliance and artistry of a man named Marius. Their love seemed destined for eternity, but like all beautiful things, it eventually came to an end. Left heartbroken, Edwin retreated to the house they once shared, where he immersed himself in the world of damaged books and faded memories, desperately trying to piece together a future from the remnants of their past. However, the tranquil routine of his solitary existence was disrupted when the weather turned, and the river spilled into Edwin's quiet world, bringing with it a stranger named Adam Dacre from the Environment Agency. At first glance, Adam appeared to be an unlikely knight, with roughened hands and worn wellingtons, offering Edwin the hope of something he had long believed was lost forever—love. As the two men worked together to combat the rising waters, Edwin gradually allowed himself to open up, accepting that he couldn't shield his heart from everything and that perhaps he didn't need to try. What he discovered was that love didn't just leave scars; sometimes, it had the power to heal them, too.

This lyrical and moving LGBTQIA+ romance contains never-before-seen content and exclusive bonus material, including a NEW novella, "Chasing the Light," which follows Marius as he rediscovers love and the intricate joy of being truly alive. Through their shared struggles and unwavering connection, Edwin and Adam discover that love can conquer all, even the deepest wounds of the past.
