A funny, heartfelt romance about how an
antique shop, a
wardrobe, and a mysterious tea cup bring two C.S. Lewis fans
together in a snowy and picturesque Oxford,
England.
Emelia Mason has spent her career finding the
dirt on the
rich and famous. But deep down past this fearless
tabloid-reporter façade, there’s a nerdy Narnia-obsessed
girl who still can’t resist climbing into wardrobes to check
for the magical land on the other side. When a story she
writes produces tragic results, she flees to Oxford,
England—home to C.S. Lewis—to try and make amends for the
damage she has caused.
Peter Carlisle was on his way
to become one of Great
Britain’s best rowers—until he injured his shoulder and lost
his chance at glory. He’s determined to fight his way back
to the top even if it means risking permanent disability to
do so. It’s the only way he can find his way past failing
the one person who never stopped believing in his Olympic
dream.
When Peter and Emelia cross paths on her first
night in
Oxford, the attraction is instant and they find common
ground in their shared love of Narnia. But can the lessons
from a fantasyland be enough to hold them together when
secrets of the real world threaten to tear them apart?
Cobblestone streets, an aristocratic estate, and an antique
shop with curious a wardrobe bring the world of Narnia to
life in Kara Isaac’s inspiring and romantic story about
second chances.
