Passion and history intertwined

When ambition and desire collide, only one can claim the top prize...

Cambridge University, 1880. Nicholas Hill lives in the shadow of a father who’s never believed he’s good enough. He’s determined to prove himself by claiming first place in the grueling History Tripos exam - only to discover that he’s working alongside a woman. Not just any woman, either. The pretty one he made the mistake of kissing three years ago. But no student is going to stand in his way of winning. For Nicholas, victory is the only way to silence his father’s doubts.

Bridget MacFarlan has clawed her way into the hallowed university’s halls where women are barely tolerated, and she does not have any patience for an entitled prat, no matter how good he is at kissing her breathless. For Bridget, winning means proving women deserve a place at Cambridge.

They’ve overcome every obstacle the university has thrown at them. Now they must face the hardest question of all:
 What matters more—glory apart, or love together?

A Girton Girl's Guide to Longing and Loathing

Love rarely gives second chances.

In 1887 London, the elite of Mayfair prosper while the poor of St. Giles die. Despite being an aristocratic wife, Ellen Grenfall fights in the bowels of London to save the lives of premature infants and their mothers with her fledgling medical dispensary--a cause close to her heart after her own infant loss.

Eight years earlier, Mark Grenfall joined the Royal Navy to escape his struggling marriage. But when he’s suddenly called by his family to provide an heir, he’s forced to return to London and the woman he abandoned—discovering that she is nothing like the giggling debutante he left behind. The real Ellen is a passionate, wildly intelligent woman pursuing neonatology, and he’s just the man who underestimated her.

Ellen has no use for a husband who abandoned her, especially not with a medical practice to keep her busy, but Mark's attention and support of her medical research sparks a new connection. Yet unresolved grief and a duty to produce an heir that neither feels capable of meeting endangers their fragile reunion.
