Money, glamour, luxury, power - Ruby Bell couldn’t be less interested in these things if she tried.

As a scholarship student at one of England’s most prestigious private schools, Maxton Hall College, all she wants is to work hard and get accepted to Oxford.

But Ruby can’t keep a low profile forever. When a secret about the Beauforts puts her on James’ radar, they have to face each other every day.

Soon, Ruby finds herself mixed up with James and his world of glamour, extravagant house parties, and the looming presence of the Beaufort reputation in ways she never could have imagined. . .
