American Ella Durran has had the same plan for her life since she was thirteen: Study at Oxford.

With the promise that she\u2019ll work remotely and return to DC at the end of her Oxford year, she\u2019s free to enjoy her Once in a Lifetime Experience. That is until a smart-mouthed local who is too quick with his tongue and his car ruins her shirt and her first day.<\/p>\n
When Ella discovers that her English literature course will be taught by none other than that same local, Jamie Davenport, she thinks for the first time that Oxford might not be all she\u2019s envisioned. But a late-night drink reveals a connection she wasn\u2019t anticipating finding and what begins as a casual fling soon develops into something much more when Ella learns Jamie has a life-changing secret.<\/p>\n
