Lorna is a recent history graduate from Oxford, eagerly trying to get a job in her field but waitressing at a casual Italian restaurant in the meantime. Naturally, the customer she spills cannelloni turns out to be a distinguished but extremely arrogant academic in her field, Sebastian Fox. Not long afterwards, Lorna get the opportunity to travel to Turkey as his assistant, and she accepts eagerly although worries about his reaction. His attitude toward her is brutal and condescending but inevitably their mutual attraction triumphs over his rudeness.
This is Stella Riley/Anna Marsh's only contemporary, and unfortunately reads like a bad Mills & Boons. Luckily, she went on to write several outstanding historical romances, greatly influenced by Heyer and Dunnett.
