***

Ethan Taylor is unbeatable on and off the field. Being the star of the Marshall College soccer team – and hot as hell – has its perks. But when tragedy strikes, Ethan flies straight out of South Carolina and to the intimidating halls of Hemden University, where even his Southern charm can’t melt the stiff British upper lips…

Mia Meyers has never had much luck with people. Having always been a bookish wallflower, junior year abroad could be her one chance to step into the spotlight. So, when Mia realises that she’s not the only student from Marshall across the pond this year, she is determined that no one will get in the way of her new life – not even Ethan Taylor.

But why is it that Ethan’s infuriatingly sexy green eyes can’t stop staring at her, and why doesn’t she want him to look away? They may be far from friends at home, but under the spires of Hemden, could this striker score her heart?

'As far as I’m concerned, Elle Kelk’s romance debut is a hit! I love the study abroad setting that gives Ethan and Mia a chance to put their pasts behind them and reinvent the new selves they want to be … until of course they realize that nothing feels more like coming home than being with each other. I kicked my feet up and read this book in a single, glorious afternoon' ALICIA THOMPSON

'This book is just pure escapism and all round joy. A million out of ten from me' LUCY VINE

'As a South Carolinian who went to a British uni, I’m just going to assume that Elle Kelk wrote this book specifically for me. And thank goodness she did because it’s an absolute treat – Mia and Ethan’s story is a perfect blend of spicy romance, early twenties hijinks and heartfelt introspection. We’re all extremely lucky to get to enroll at Hemden' ALI ROSEN
