Moving five thousand miles from Los Angeles to England was never part of Brooke Anderson's plan.

But when her mum moves across the Atlantic to start a new life, Brooke is left with no choice but to follow. New country. New school. New accent. New everything.

St. Aldwyn's is nothing like home, but it doesn't take long for Brooke to find her place. Between her new best friend Tilly, late-night parties, and a certain group of rugby boys who seem determined to drag her into their chaos, England starts to feel a little less foreign.

Then there's Benjamin Riley.

He's St. Aldwyn's rugby captain, everyone's favourite player, and exactly the kind of guy Brooke promised herself she wouldn't get involved with.

Ben has no trouble getting girls' attention. But Brooke isn't like the others. She's unimpressed by his reputation, isn't afraid to give him shit, and somehow manages to get under his skin without even trying.

What starts as teasing quickly becomes something neither of them knows how to handle.

Because the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the looks that last a little too long, the conversations that never seem to end, and the feeling that maybe they're not just friends anymore.

Neither of them is willing to make the first move.

But when the tension finally becomes impossible to ignore, something has to give.
