Go Your Own Way

When seventeen-year-old Isla Penrose wins a scholarship to elite Ashford Hall, she arrives with one goal: earn her place and get to Oxford. She doesn't arrive looking for love. But Rupert Ashford - golden, charming, his family's name on the building - has a way of making a girl feel chosen. Seen. Like the most interesting person in the room.
Six years later, Isla boards a plane to New York with a suitcase, a Columbia journalism scholarship, and a question she doesn't yet know how to answer: who is she, when there's no one left to perform for?
In Manhattan, she begins again. New city, new friends, new possibilities. And when she meets Miles Carter - patient, self-made, a man who listens when she speaks - she starts to remember what it felt like to want something for herself.
But the past has a way of following you across an ocean.
