Waltham

By AJ Adell

Some love stories rewrite the rules. Some of them rewrite legacies.

At twenty-five, William Ashworth is the perfect future earl-polished, controlled, and suffocating under centuries of aristocratic expectation. At an art gallery opening, he meets Douglas Jackson, a warm and brilliant painter from Leeds whose honesty feels like oxygen.

Their connection is instant. Their chemistry undeniable.
Their relationship impossible.

As their secret romance deepens, the walls between their worlds crack-until a leak to the press turns whispers into national scandal. Suddenly, the Ashworth heir and the boy from Leeds become symbols in a fight neither asked for.

Forced apart by pressure and fear, William and Douglas must confront the truth:
Some storms are worth surviving.
Some love stories demand to be lived in the open.

Lush, emotional, and deeply romantic, Waltham is a sweeping queer drama about identity, legacy, and choosing the person who makes your world feel like home.
