Downthorpe Hall is a posh boarding school in the wilds of the Oxfordshire countryside.
Fresh from working in an inner-city comprehensive, Will Hughes has just been appointed as the new head. He knows there will be a host of challenges ahead. Tricky parents, rebellious teenagers and teachers who will fight his attempts to reform the school.
He doesn’t expect a battle for his heart.
But when he meets two women – the fiercely ambitious deputy head and a brilliantly smart science teacher – Will realises that the ties at Downthorpe are not just the kind you wear around your neck.
What follows is a tangle of competing ambitions and desires that leave Will bemused – and could force him to choose between the job he has always wanted and the woman of his dreams.
That’s the blurb for my new novella School Ties, a romantic e-book set in a school.
From Enid Blyton’s Malory Towers to Jilly Cooper’s Wicked!, I’ve always thought boarding schools provide brilliant settings for novels. So when Endeavour Press asked me to write one, I jumped at the chance. It’s out this month and I’d love to know what you think…
School Ties by Emma Lee-Potter (Endeavour Press, £1.99)
Looking forward to reading this Emma. I wish you good luck with it.
Thanks so much, Kathy. That’s really kind of you. Let me know what you think!
