My Husband’s PhD Was Mine

June and Arthur were the youngest tenure-track professors at their university, two orphans who crawled out of the same state-run group home and built a life on each other's ambitions. When only one London research fellowship opened, June stepped aside so Arthur could take it.

That same day, Arthur confessed he had fallen for Lexie, an eighteen-year-old he calls pure and vibrant, and announced he was leaving June everything in the divorce. June signed the papers, then called the Provost to reclaim the fellowship she had given away.

Now Arthur's resignation has left him with nothing, and at the federal building June watches Lexie scream at a clerk about a visa she cannot get.
