About this listen

'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

KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR. 🗡🛡

This is a touching beautiful romance that blossoms through the hardships of a woman's lot! How men rule and women kneel down to the men's whims and desires. But nothing can stop true love even if one has to pretend to be a knight and save the day. This is a captivating storyline and narration was exceptional quality, a joy to listen to.🎶

Enjoyable sapphic romance

Knights, women defying societal expectations, and lesbians - I'm not sure what more you could ask for in a book! The writing is warm and sensual, and the narration is lively and easy to listen to. The supporting characters really elevate the central romance, and I really enjoyed how everything tied together at the end.
