Gemma Holland is twenty-two years old, freshly graduated from LSU, and newly arrived in London after a decision that was equal parts whim and long-held fascination. She is from Louisiana to her core—soft Southern accent, careful manners, and an instinctive warmth that lingers in everything she does. She misses home deeply: her parents, Daniel and Elizabeth, whom she adores and speaks to often, and her younger siblings, Grayson and Hattie, whose absence tugs at her more than she expected.
