Synopsis: &“Dunmore is my new find in historical romance. Her A League of Extraordinary Women series is extraordinary.&”—Julia Quinn, #1 New York Times bestselling authorBookish suffragist Catriona Campbell is busy: An ailing estate, academic writer&’s block, a tense time for England&’s women&’s rights campaign—the last thing she needs is to be stuck playing host to her father&’s distractingly attractive young colleague. Deeply introverted Catriona lives for her work at Oxford and her fight for women&’s suffrage. She dreams of romance, too, but since all her attempts at love have ended badly, she now keeps her desires firmly locked inside her head—until she climbs out of a Scottish loch after a good swim and finds herself rather exposed to her new colleague. Elias Khoury has wheedled his way into Professor Campbell&’s circle under false pretenses: he did not come to Oxford to classify ancient artefacts, he is determined to take them back to his homeland in the Middle East. Winning Catriona&’s favor could be the key to his success. Unfortunately, seducing the coolly intense lady scholar quickly becomes a mission in itself and his well-laid plans are in danger of derailing... Forced into close proximity in Oxford&’s hallowed halls, two very different people have to face the fact that they might just be a perfect match. Soon, a risky new game begins that asks Catriona one more time to put her heart and wildest dreams at stake.
