In this sparkling romance, two professors with a complicated past get a second chance to prove history won't repeat itself.
Assistant professor Clara Fernsby is nothing if not driven. She's wanted to teach history since she was fourteen, and she hasn't let anything stand in her way-not even the love of her life.
When Theodore Harrison is brought into her department as a visiting scholar, it's an unexpected blast from Clara's past. She hasn't spoken to Teddy since rejecting him over a phone call ten years ago. Now that he's here, she's reminded of everything her teenager self loved about him.
Clara knows there's every chance Theo's not interested. But history's all down to interpretation, and this time around, she's got no intentions of repeating it.
'This book was designed in a lab for me - or, more accurately, a musty History department in an ivy-covered building: competent grown-up protagonists, second-chance-friends-to-lovers story, tweed and elbow patches atmosphere. Miller has created a world I've never read before populated with fully-realized, completely original characters to root for. A beyond satisfying read. My heart is happy. A+. With honors. Summa cum Laude' - Julia Whelan, internationally bestselling author of My Oxford Year and Thank You for Listening
'Readers are going to fall in love with Clara and Teddy's years-spanning love story, filled with delicious nostalgia, laugh-out-loud nerdiness and sizzling romance. A must read!' - N.S. Perkins, bestselling author of The Infinity Between
'Given Our History is second chance romance, ivy-covered academia, and complicated family history at its sweetest and most heartwarming' - Trish Doller, internationally bestselling author of Float Plan
'Sweet and sweeping, Miller's Given Our History is the perfect study in how our longest held feelings can lead us into life's loveliest surprises. A masterclass in nostalgia and second-chances crafted into an emotional and charming romance' - Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of The Roughest Draft
