About

Independent publishing,
uncompromising stories

Thornfield Press publishes fiction that refuses to be quiet. We work across genres — literary fiction, historical romance, speculative fiction — united by a commitment to stories with emotional weight, structural ambition, and prose that earns every sentence.

We believe the best books don't fit neatly into categories. They borrow from everywhere and belong to no one. Our catalog reflects that conviction: intimate novels about the places we lose, sweeping romances about the people we find, and speculative works about the systems that reshape us.

Easter at Thornfield cover

Easter at Thornfield

Historical Romance Regency Complete

When a penniless widow arrives at an Easter house party and finds the man she once publicly destroyed, she must decide whether the truth that ruined him can now save them both.

Eight years ago, at a glittering London ball, Alistair Holt proposed to Miss Eliza Montford — and she let the room's laughter be her answer. What the ton didn't know was that she had no choice: her family's ruin was a secret she couldn't speak aloud. Now, widowed and nearly destitute, Eliza arrives at a Cotswolds Easter gathering to find Alistair waiting — as cold and impeccable as ever, looking at her like she is something he has long since stopped caring about.

For readers of Julia Quinn, Lisa Kleypas, and Tessa Dare

Love-Love cover

Love-Love

Contemporary Romance Romantic Comedy Complete

Their daughters forged the sign-up sheet. Now two single parents are stuck in ten weeks of mixed doubles — and the whole town can see what they can't.

Tom Basara hasn't been on a date in three years. Nadia Choi considers her divorce the best decision she ever made. When their twelve-year-old best friends forge their parents' signatures on a tennis league registration, Tom and Nadia are partnered up for the season. They're both terrible at tennis. Their coach did not sign up for couples therapy. And the entire town, including the pro shop guy running a betting pool, can see what they can't: these two are falling for each other.

For readers of Beth O'Leary and Ruby Barrett

Salt & Sugar cover

Salt & Sugar

Contemporary Romance Small Town Complete

She's all sugar. He's all salt. The recipe they're making isn't on any menu.

Margot Chen moved to a tiny Oregon coast town to open a bakery and rebuild her life. She just needs into the town's annual food festival — and the only person who can help is her gruff, monosyllabic landlord. Five weeks of late-night kitchen sessions change everything. Somewhere between the arguments about tartar sauce and the silence after midnight, the deal stops being practical.

For readers of Emily Henry and Christina Lauren

Thaw Line cover

Thaw Line

Contemporary Romance Second Chance Complete

They were the indie folk duo that music blogs called "the next Civil Wars." Then one catastrophic fight tore the band apart — and whatever was building between them.

Five years later, their former manager tricks them into sharing a remote cabin in the North Cascades for a two-week songwriting retreat. One studio, no cell signal, thin walls, and the unfinished song still sitting in a notebook Cal has carried for five years. The music comes back first. Then the fighting. Then the dangerous, undeniable truth that the sound of their voices together is still the best sound either of them has ever made.

For readers of Emily Henry and Christina Lauren
