At twenty-five, Magnolia Sterling is used to moving between worlds without belonging to any of them. Raised among horsey aristocrats, television producers, and political scandals, she has perfected the art of staying on the edge-observing, never fully seen. When her childhood friend Rupert Campbell-Black invites her to spend the summer at his estate in Rutshire, she agrees. It's harmless. Familiar. A quiet escape.
Until she meets Declan O'Hara.
Newly arrived in Rutshire, the brilliant and infamously volatile Declan is escaping his own wreckage-a failed marriage, a toxic newsroom, and a reputation for leaving chaos in his wake.
And he certainly isn't looking for distraction.
He's older, complicated, and entirely off-limits. She's under Rupert's protection, and far too clever to be just another story. But when desire turns reckless and reputations hang in the balance, Magnolia and Declan must decide how much they're willing to risk - for one unforgettable summer.
