Here is River Hales's "Far From Sherwood Forest." It is the third and final novel in the Far From series.
["Robin
My time as an outlaw in Sherwood Forest was meant to end the day I chose to lay down the hood. Instead, it was ripped away from me as Little John and I were hurled into an unfamiliar world. Together, we adapted and built new lives.
Five years later, the past finds me again. Henry, the Sheriff I once fought and then abandoned, is back, and his hatred burns even hotter than before.
Beneath it, I feel the spark of something more dangerous. The fire between us was once rivalry. Now, it’s desire. I can’t fight it, so I guess I’ll let it burn me alive.
Henry
For years, I hunted Robin Hood. He was a thief and my obsession, the thorn in my side. Then the world shifted beneath us, and I was alone. No crown to serve. No purpose. That loneliness hollowed me out until nothing remained, not even the Sheriff.
After five years, hatred should have been enough. Revenge should have been sweet. But with every taste of his defiance, his smile, the way he dares me without fear, it all starts to feel like a lie.
Hatred drove me to find him. Desire lured me deeper. I don’t know which one will destroy me first."]
TBRs, ARCs, and life prevented me from reading this the day it came out. And now, after finally reading it, I gotta say, I'm even more upset with myself.
This dynamic was similar to “Far From Neverland”, where one cannot exist without the other. And where one has to team up with the other to save the day (spoiler alert?).
They were mean but not always on purpose. They were careful and vulnerable and loving, always on purpose. Though it took them a while to bridge that gap.
Trigger Warnings: violence between MCs, gun violence, kidnapping, deaths of family members and a past romantic partner, murder, grief, abandonment, religious trauma, self-harm (self-flagellation), past suicidal ideation, death of a pet, and more.
