Save Me is Mona Kasten’s contemporary romance novel and the first book in the Maxton Hall series. Scholarship student Ruby Bell wants to keep her place at the prestigious school and earn a place at Oxford; after she discovers a secret involving the wealthy Beaufort family, she is drawn into closer contact with James Beaufort.
What is Save Me about?
Ruby has a clear plan: work hard, stay out of the way, and get into Oxford. That plan becomes harder to follow when she discovers a secret about the Beaufort family, one of the most prominent families at Maxton Hall. James Beaufort, who belongs to the school’s upper social circle, becomes involved in the fallout.

Where does it fit in the Maxton Hall series?
Save Me begins the trilogy. Read the books in this order:
#1 Best Overall
- Save Me — the first book, introducing Ruby, James, and the conflict that brings them together.
- Save You — the second book.
- Save Us — the third and final book.
Penguin Random House lists the three titles in this order on its Maxton Hall series page.
How is the novel connected to the Maxton Hall screen series?
Penguin Random House says the books are now a Prime Video streaming series, establishing the novels as source material associated with the screen adaptation. That publisher statement does not specify which events from Save Me appear in particular episodes or how the adaptation changes the story, so the book synopsis should not be treated as a scene-by-scene guide to the show.
