You know what they say when you assume...Amelia allows herself two fibs a day. Only two. And only fibs-nothing bigger. It’s not always convenient, but it has worked-earning her a job as Vice-Dean of Admission at Chastain University, her Southern Ivy alma mater.But lies-big or small-might still be her downfall.Raised by her single mom in a working-class Atlanta neighborhood, Amelia-Mimi outside her carefully curated professional life- devoted herself to earning a full scholarship to Chastain University. Since then, she has tried to make good on the opportunities she fought so hard to achieve. Her fib policy started in college, after a small assumption snowballed into a campus-wide humiliation she’s never quite lived down.These days, Amelia plays everything by the book in her structured, efficient, and safe life-filled with few people, endless nonfiction, and a deep belief in meritocracy.A chance run-in with Ethan, a nomadic truth-teller of a different sort, sparks attraction. But when Chastain U stands accused of a ripped-from-the-headlines admissions scandal, ethics suspend the love-match, and Amelia becomes complicit in ways she never imagined. Fighting for her place in a world that offers more obstacles than opportunities; good intentions go horribly wrong. Amelia strives to make things right while the hijinks of a cabal of well-meaning geriatrics and the old boys’ club of higher education help and hinder but if Amelia’s already-lonesome ivory tower crumbles, she’ll lose everything-her career, Ethan... and the fragile relationship with her mother she’s only just begun to repair.A witty, heartfelt romance for anyone who’s ever bent the truth, tried to break the system, or been bowled over by love for someone they absolutely shouldn’t.
