Beneath Oxford’s dreaming spires, Ella Durran finally sees her childhood dream take shape. At twenty-four, the American student has earned a coveted Rhodes Scholarship, a year in England she’s planned for more than a decade. She even secures a remote role on a U.S. presidential campaign—proof that nothing will derail her ambitions.
Then Jamie Davenport crashes into her first day—literally—ruining her shirt and her carefully imagined start. Worse still, he turns out to be her English literature professor: sharp-witted, infuriatingly charming, and impossible to ignore.
What begins as sparring over pints turns into something deeper, something Ella never intended to find. But Jamie carries a secret that changes everything, and suddenly her carefully charted future collides with the life she’s building in Oxford.
As her year draws to an end, Ella faces an impossible choice: return to the political dreams she’s chased since girlhood, or stay for a love that has rewritten every dream she thought she had.
