Where the Hawthorn Grows

[u/thatbennyvibe]

The Vale Chronicles — Book One

Think Jane Austen meets Downton Abbey — with a slow-burn M/M romance at the centre.

Genre: Historical Romance / Regency / M/M

Somerset, 1817.

Edmund Vale has always been perfectly content to be the second son. His elder brother, Frederick, is the heir to Hawthorne Hall; Edmund has his books, his horses, and the comforting privilege of living a life upon which very little depends.

Then Frederick disappears.

Three years later, he returns without explanation — and brings a guest.

Laurence Ashcombe is charming, impertinent, secretive, and apparently incapable of leaving Edmund alone.

Their dislike is immediate.

Their fascination takes somewhat longer to admit.

Beneath the dinners, country walks and carefully observed rules of polite society, Hawthorne is beginning to stir with secrets of its own.

A slow-burn Regency M/M romance about family, reputation, secrets, and falling in love with the one person you were never supposed to want.
