Is it ever too late for a love story? Dawn Clermont certainly doesn't think so. Rosie Bishop absolutely disagrees. The last place divorcee Rosie wants to be is on a Seniors' Retreat in the Lake District. She's determined not to have a good time, but an unexpected reunion with an old friend thwarts her plans. Her armour of bitterness proves no match for the spirited widow Dawn; dragged through a whirlwind of adventures and betrayed by her own sense of humour, Rosie soon realises she hasn't got a hope of staying sullen. As Rosie clings to the remnants of her sarcasm, something about Dawn draws her closer than ever before.

For Arsh Shah, a femboy raised in an orthodox Muslim military household, the answer unfolds in London-where two men offer different versions of love, and only one offers the freedom to exist completely.

In a sun-washed corner of ancient Greece, where olive trees whisper to the sea and gods seem to breathe through every stone, two boys grow side by side: one a barefoot commoner with laughter like warm wind, the other a restless young prince with destiny coiled around his shoulders like a serpent of gold. Their childhood is stitched together in stolen afternoons-racing through fields, swapping secrets beneath cypress shadows, dreaming up futures that seem as weightless as dandelion fluff. But as they stretch toward manhood, something quieter, deeper, begins to bloom between them. A glimmering tenderness neither has a name for. A longing that feels both forbidden and sacred. Yet Greece is a land where duty can thunder louder than the heart. With war rising on the horizon and a kingdom demanding its prince, the boys are pulled apart-one toward the battlefield, the other toward survival. Their bond, once simple as a shared smile, becomes a fragile thread stretched across distance, danger, and the expectations of gods and mortals alike. It's a love story written on the edge of a spear, a coming-of-age myth where hearts break and rebuild in the face of fate, and where even war can't fully sever the bond forged when two souls first learned to grow in the same light.
