The Weight of Expectations

He never meant to fall for another man—especially not this one.



After the sudden death of his father, Henry Blyth returns home burdened by expectations, grief, and a family on the verge of unraveling. Navigating Regency-era society, he finds himself caught between duty and desire—torn between the young woman his family wants him to marry and the enigmatic Mr. Fitzwilliam, whose presence is far too intoxicating to ignore.



What begins as polite conversation becomes something deeper. Something dangerous. In a world that would never accept their love, Henry must choose: conform to the life laid out for him—or risk everything for a chance at something real.



Set in a time of rigid roles and whispered scandals, The Weight of Expectations is a slow-burn LGBTQ+ historical romance about love, loss, and the quiet courage it takes to live—and love—authentically.
