The wait is over — the historical YA romcom Not for the Faint of Heart by bestselling author Lex Croucher is finally out today in the US with Wednesday Books!
Published in the UK with Bloomsbury in August 2024, the novel follows Mariel the newly blooded and grumpy captain of the Merry Men who is desperate to live up to her grandfather’s legacy, the legendary Robin Hood. Clem is a too-perky backwoods healer who just wants to help people. When Mariel’s bandits kidnap Clem as plan (sort of), Mariel’s father has been captured in a deadly ambush. Mariel sets on a journey through Sherwood to rescue him with her annoyingly cheerful kidnappee in tow. As the two of them grow closer, forced by circumstances to share a single horse and bed, one thing is clear. They must prepare to fight for their lives and for those of everyone they’ve sworn to protect.
Lex is a multi award-winning author and a New York Times bestseller. They are highly known for their book, Gwen & Art Are Not in Love which won the YA Book Prize 2024. Lex is also the author of other historical fiction for adults titled Reputation, Infamous and Trouble.
