Save Me is the first book in the Maxton Hall series by Mona Kasten, translated into English by Rachel Ward. It’s the book that inspired the number one prime TV show Maxton Hall.

They come from different worlds, and yet they are meant for each other.

Money, glamour, luxury, power—Ruby Bell couldn’t be less interested in these things if she tried. After being awarded a scholarship to one of England’s most prestigious and expensive private schools, Maxton Hall, all she wants is to keep her head down, work hard, and get accepted to Oxford. She keeps her distance from everyone, especially the arrogant, rich, and extremely handsome James Beaufort, ringleader of the school’s party boys.

When Ruby discovers a scandalous secret about the Beauforts, she is suddenly on James’s radar. It only gets worse when James is forced to work with her to plan the school’s annual gala. Yet the more time they spend together, the more they realize they share much more than they thought.

Save Me is exactly the kind of book that makes you stay up way too late telling yourself “just one more chapter”… until it’s 3 AM and you’ve made peace with your life choices. Mona Kasten doesn’t mess around—this book is packed with tension, elite-school politics, and characters who clash hard but click even harder.

Rachel Ward’s translation deserves credit for maintaining the prose’s smooth and natural quality. The language flows without any noticeable bumps. It reads like a novel written in English, not one that’s been reworked into it. The tone stays even, the phrasing is clear, and nothing feels lost.
