Librarian Evie has hit rock bottom: stuck on an endless mental-health break from her studies, she spends her days shelving books and giving tours of the university where she no longer truly belongs.
To make matters worse, she's just been assigned to help Oxford's insufferable new honorary professor: charming and chaotic social-media historian, Nic Morelli, who happens to be Evie's former rival - and ex.
So when Evie stumbles across something extraordinary in the stacks - an ancient manuscript with clues to a long-lost medieval treasure hunt - Nic is the last person Evie wants to tell.
But some would kill to find the treasure first, and as a shadowy group of treasure hunters close in, reuniting with Nic might be the only way to decipher the book's clues first.
As long as they can keep old feelings safely buried . . .
Escape to the libraries of Oxford for a totally addictive second-chance sapphic romance, perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood, Jo Segura and Casey McQuiston.

I absolutely loved this second chance, enemies-to-lovers love story. Academic rivals Evie and Nic's hunt for medieval treasure through the spellbinding city of Oxford had me hooked from the first page, and Vendrell crafts their romance with wit, intelligence and empathy. Sizzling, warm-hearted and nuanced, it's the perfect romantic read (Sophie Loxton)
The romance reader in me swooned over the sizzling rivalry, while the nerd in me geeked out over the layered depiction of history and academia. Smart, sexy and propulsive, Ex Marks the Spot is a treasure of its own (Hannah Brohm)
Packed full of hijinks, history and the kind of simmering tension that grabs your heart and refuses to let go, Ex Marks The Spot is a gorgeous and witty second-chance romance. I loved it! (Catherine Walsh)
