My Oxford Year

Perfect for fans of JoJo Moyes and Nicholas Sparks, this sparkling debut novel is set against the breathtaking backdrop of Oxford and tells the unforgettable story of a determined young woman eager to make her mark in the world and the handsome man who introduces her to an incredible love that will change her life forever.

Since she was thirteen years old, American Ella Durran has had the same life plan: attend Oxford University. She eventually arrived in England at the age of 24 on a Rhodes Scholarship after accepting an incredible opportunity to work for a rising political star's presidential campaign. She can enjoy her once-in-a-lifetime experience knowing that she will work remotely and return to DC at the conclusion of her Oxford year. That is, until her first day and her clothing are wrecked by a snarky local who speaks too quickly and wrecks her automobile.

For the first time, Ella considers that Oxford may not be everything she had imagined when she learns that Jamie Davenport, a local, will be teaching her English literature course. However, a late-night drink makes her realise that she doesn't know Jamie, and what starts out as a light romance quickly becomes into something lot more as Ella finds out about Jamie's life-altering secret.

Ella is immediately left with an apparently difficult choice: support him through a trial for which none of them is really ready, or turn her back on the guy she is growing in love with in order to pursue her political goals. Ella has to make the decision of whether the aspirations she's always desired are the same ones she's currently longing for as her year in Oxford draws to a close.
