One single night turns Olive Henderson’s whole life upside down. After a devastating fire at Dunbridge Academy, severe injuries force her to retake a year on her own, without her best friends, who are about to embark on their A levels. And that’s without the added frustration of new student Colin Fantino. Determined to hate everything at Dunbridge, the young New Yorker would rather be anywhere else than in this Scottish exile. But then Olive starts to look underneath the surface, and with every crack in Colin’s tough shell she feels more and more attracted to him. Until she discovers the true reason for his sudden departure from New York.
