OPENING THE LORD’S CABINET

A forbidden passion that could cost them everything.

If you need your historical romances soft and your lords honorable, walk away now. This is Tudor England, where relationships between men mean the noose.

Westminster, 1521: Will Ashby has spent years perfecting invisibility. As a Records Office clerk, he copies documents, keeps his head down, and never draws attention—because men like him, men who desire other men, survive by staying unseen. Then he forges a document to protect an innocent servant, and Lord Edward Seymour notices. Not the forgery. Him.

Edward should be untouchable: powerful, dangerous, and nursing wounds from an illicit affair that forced him to flee disgrace. But the quiet scribe with ink-stained fingers and watchful eyes makes him burn. Encounters become charged with unspoken want. Stolen glances in the corridors of the royal palace turn explosive.

When political enemies threaten to destroy them both, Will must choose: safety in shadows, or Edward's arms.

This is the story of two men who refuse to hide. In Tudor England, their love is treason. But some things are worth any risk—and what they share behind locked doors is definitely one of them. No apologies. No holding back. Just two men claiming what's theirs.

This isn't a love story about stolen glances and chaste longing. This is about two men who can't stop touching each other even when the world would hang them for it.

In Tudor England, desire isn't just forbidden—it's fatal. And neither of them can stop.
