Publisher Description

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.


The beginning of my sophomore year in college was off to a rough start. 

On the first day of orientation, I had an altercation with an infuriating British dude. (In the men’s room. Don’t ask.)

I got home later that night and realized that the foreign student we were expecting to rent a room in my parents’ house was allergic to our cat.

So, the spare room went to someone else: Caleb—the British guy from the men’s room.  

And so it began…my love-hate story with Caleb Yates. Or was it hate-love in that order?


The guy knew how to push every one of my buttons. 

Sometimes I’d email him to express my aggravation and disdain.

He’d actually rewrite my own words and send them back to me. 

That was the type of infuriating person Caleb was.

So frustrating.

And…

Sometimes incredibly funny and endearingly sweet.

And hot. 


He eventually grew on me, and Caleb soon became one of my best friends that year. 

Too bad he was headed back to England soon, so nothing could happen between us—for so many reasons. 

I definitely couldn't fall in love with him, especially since all we had was just one year.

Heart warming and engaging

JUST ONE YEAR by Penelope Ward is a contemporary, new adult, stand alone romance story line focusing on nineteen year old Teagan Carroll, and twenty-two year old, British exchange student Caleb Yates.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Teagan and Caleb) JUST ONE YEAR follows the building friendship, relationship and love between nineteen year old Teagan Carroll, and twenty-two year old, British exchange student Caleb Yates. Caleb Yates is older than most college freshmen but a year in Boston meant a year running from his problems back home. Finding himself a temporary member of the Carroll household brought Caleb up close and personal with the woman with whom he would fall in love. What ensues is the back and forth, yin and yang, up and down building romance and relationship between Teagan and Caleb, and the potential fall-out as Caleb’s time in America comes to an end.

Caleb Yates struggles with the demons from his past but for a short time he is able to push the demons aside as he navigates college life in America. Boarding at the Carroll home, Caleb feels like part of the family, a family wherein his attraction to Teagan is hidden behind friendship and sisterly-love. Teagan Carroll has always felt like she never belonged having never known her mother, a woman with a questionable reputation. Hiding in plain site only made matters worse when her attraction to Caleb felt one-sided and wrong.

The relationship between Caleb and Teagan begins acrimoniously when Teagan finds herself in the men’s washroom, only to come face to face with Caleb Yates. From that moment on, the push and pull between Teagan and Caleb is often offset by Teagan’s jealousy, and Caleb’s friendship with other girls. The $ex scenes are passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

JUST ONE YEAR is a story of family, friendships, and relationships; a story of secrets and heart break; of regrets and love. The premise is heart warming and engaging; the characters are real and unforced; the romance is flirty and tender.

Another fun, heartfelt, humorous story

It all starts in the loo. I love that line. But it did, really. Who would have thought that meeting a guy in the loo would be the guy who will be living in your house. And who would have thought the guy you met in the loo would be the guy you loose your heart to.

Another fun, heartfelt, humorous story by Penelope. You have Caleb. The hot cocky guy from England. Then you have Teagan. The good student who would never get involved with someone like Caleb......

But living together under the same roof....they quickly become good friends. Yes, friends, like brother and sister kind of friends. But one thing is undeniable....their attraction to each other. But what do you do with that. He’s only here for a year and that could end up in heartbreak.....

As always I loved every minute of this book. When you start a story and from page one you fall in love with the characters......you know this is going to be a good one. What else is there to say. A definite recommend. Don’t miss out❤️
