About this listen

My colleague Elodie thinks I despise her. In fact, she’s owned my heart since the first time I caught sight of her slim white neck.

Monday to Friday, I’m the grumpy Head of History. Zero personality, except when I’m teaching. So passionate about my field that my pupils bought me a highly inappropriate t-shirt last year. I HAVE A HARD-ON FOR REVISIONIST HISTORY, if you must know.

It’s only on Saturdays, when I play Henry VIII at Hampton Court Palace for over-exuberant tourists, that I channel His Majesty’s swagger. Think with my codpiece, if you like. At school, I stay the hell away from Elodie. Because nothing good can come from my obsession.

But when I make her my Anne Boleyn at the weekend, I can’t control the things going on under that codpiece. Or the filth that comes out of my mouth.

Monday to Friday, she’s my colleague. On Saturday, she’s my queen.

The Rest is History is a steamy, opposites attract, workplace romance with plenty of historical spice.
