Synopsis

Can the posh student win the uptight professor?

Helen Swift is almost fifty and tired of her day job as a professor at Oxford University. She prefers to write cozy mysteries under a well-hidden pen name in her Cotswolds cottage. She's also far too busy to even consider romance.

Posh girl, Victoria 'Rory' Carlisle, is over the moon when she snags Helen as her DPhil supervisor, and not only because of Professor Swift's academic prowess. Rory takes an instant shine to Helen, who is far from charmed by her advances.

Can Rory make a dent in the wall that Helen has built around herself? And does Helen even have the time for such an inappropriate dalliance?

Goodreads review by Elske on August 08, 2019

I liked all three books in this series by three different writers, but I enjoyed this one most. Maybe because of the trope about an older professor (Helen Swift) who is a bit stiff and moored by her own rules meets her new and much younger DPhil and falls in love with her against her will and intent......more

Helen is a professor at Oxford University; however, in her private life, she is the author of a lesbian mystery book series. When she meets Rory, the student who she will advise through her PHD, her life is thrown into a spin. Not only is she wildly attracted to Rory, which in itself is frowned upon......more
