Emily Banting’s standalone fiction expands beyond her two main series. Barging In, published in 2025, is a sapphic age-gap romance set along the canals of rural England. The novel follows two women whose paths cross on the waterways, bringing Banting’s trademark British humor and historic setting to a fresh backdrop.
The book continues Banting’s focus on representing women over forty in romance fiction. While her series work is set in villages and country estates, Barging In trades those surroundings for the narrow boats and towpaths of the English canal system, offering something a bit different for her existing readers while staying true to the tone they expect.
