Description
Book Synopsis''Dunmore is my new find in historical romance. Her A League of Extraordinary Women series is extraordinary'' JULIA QUINN, No.1 New York Times bestselling author
Bookish 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 pretences: he did not come to Oxford to classify ancient artefacts, he is determined to take them back to his homel
