Cold Stone and Candlelight

Edmund Haward has one rule: disappear before you are destroyed.

For eighteen years it has worked. He is the best clerk in the Bishop of London’s secretariat, invisible in the way that useful men are invisible, and he has never once let anyone close enough to find out who he actually is.

Then Gilbert Deverell comes to London with a commission for the cathedral build and a habit of looking at Edmund like he is the only interesting thing in the room.

Edmund knows exactly where this goes. He has read Aelred of Rievaulx four times. He knows what the book is really about. He knows what he is. He has spent his entire adult life making certain it does not cost him anything.

It is going to cost him everything.

Cold Stone and Candlelight is an explicit medieval m/m romance set in the final years of Henry IV’s reign! A story about a man who uses piety as armor and the one person who finds the seam in it.
