“Such a nuanced, deeply understood love story. Swoony and lovely, performed to perfection, the kind of romance that makes you yearn. So very wonderful.”

“This book was everything I didn't know I needed in a romance. It was genuine, funny, and perfectly balanced a historical romance novel with beautiful representation across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. Every moment was a delight and the audiobook had me smiling like a fool on my walks!”
— Kimi • Buttonwood Books and Toys

“Genuinely one of the best historical romances I've read in a while. Such an interesting concept, and richly complex with elements of grief, acceptance, best friends to lovers with a lot in between, and honesty. Reading about trans characters outside of the modern day is something I want more of, and I'm so glad I got to read this! Alexis Hall is a genius. ”

“Viola is finally living her life as the woman she’s always truly been after faking her death in the Napoleonic Wars. Her only regret is leaving behind her best friend, the Duke of Gracewood, who has never really recovered. This is such a sweet, affirming, heartwarming yet humorous, nicely spicy friends to lovers romance. I loved the rep, the tenderness in Viola & Gracewood‘s relationship, and TBH the sheer drama of the back from the dead story line! ”
— Megan • Underground Books
Bookseller recommendation
“Heartwarming and truly lovely—two childhood best friends, who thought they were irrevocably lost from each other, find one another again, both changed and the same. They fall in love—or perhaps, finally name the love that has always existed between them. With splashes of romantic angst, sharp wit, PTSD, addiction issues, this story is overall touching and beautifully hopeful.”
— Emma • Content
From the bestselling author of Husband Material comes a lush, sweeping queer historical romance where sparks fly between childhood friends after a life-changing separation—perfect for fans of Bridgerton, Evie Dunmore, and Lisa Kleypas!
When Viola Carroll was presumed dead at Waterloo she took the opportunity to live, at last, as herself. But freedom does not come without a price, and Viola paid for hers with the loss of her wealth, her title, and her closest companion, Justin de Vere, the Duke of Gracewood.
Only when their families reconnect, years after the war, does Viola learn how deep that loss truly was. Shattered without her, Gracewood has retreated so far into grief that Viola barely recognises her old friend in the lonely, brooding man he has become.
As Viola strives to bring Gracewood back to himself, fresh desires give new names to old feelings. Feelings that would have been impossible once and may be impossible still, but which Viola cannot deny. Even if they cost her everything, all over again.
Alexis Hall lives in a crumbling gothic manor that he inherited in mysterious circumstances. He is a genial host provided you swear that you will under no circumstances venture into the west wing.
