A grumpy, reclusive scholar. An unexpected houseguest with a shadowy past. And a cottage with only one bed.

Everything Ethram has ever had in his life, he has lost. His family. His health. His courage. Ever since his accident in the dark of the university archives, he just wants to be left alone. He is content to quietly fade away with his history books and his tumbling-down cottage.

Until the storm. Until the stranger.

Ky arrives on Ethram's doorstep wounded, rain-drenched, and fey enough to be dangerous. Taking him in is reckless, but Ethram is a historian, and is far too intrigued by the promise of a mystery to turn him away.

Ky's secrets run river-deep. He is a threat, bringing danger stalking closer every day. And despite his arrogance, he is strikingly thoughtful, coaxing Ethram's cottage garden back to life. He gives Ethram everything Ethram is too afraid to want...a warm bed, a companion, a home. And that is another kind of danger.

Because Ky is not meant to stay in the mortal world-and loving him might be Ethram's greatest loss of all.

Stormcaught is a darkly cosy MM novella. It is a prequel to All Woven With Ivy, and it can be read as a standalone. It contains pining, academia, cottagecore cosiness. It is an adult romance.
