When Elizabeth Bennet inherits a crumbling seaside mansion, she expects renovation headaches, not romantic chaos. But then Mr Darcy — the very man whose proposal she rejected — arrives as a guest. With the house literally falling apart around them, can two stubborn hearts find their way to happiness amid the rubble?
Tropes: forced proximity • second chances • love triangle • protective hero • enemies to friends to lovers
So funny in places I laughed out loud it also contained some high angst towards the end that was so exciting I couldn’t put it down.
Amazon review, 5 stars
This was a funny, sweet and surprising Regency romp. Jessie Lewis and Amy D’Orazio teaming up again for this new story checks all my boxes!
Goodreads review, 5 stars
A wonderful story and by far one of the best Pride and Prejudice rom-coms I have recently read.

Read an excerpt
Elizabeth gripped the sheet and gave it a sharp tug. It gave up its hold without resistance, billowing to the floor in a cloud of dust and saturating the room with sunlight. She was at once delighted and aghast. The room was beautifully proportioned and perfectly designed to make the most of the
spectacular view—but it seemed to be clinging by its very last nail to any structural integrity. It looked as though something exceedingly heavy had fallen through the house, leaving gaping holes in both the ceiling and the floor. She walked as close to the edge of the void as she dared and peered in.
“Oh, what a shame!” A pianoforte lay in a mangled heap below.
Mr Gardiner took hold of her arm and pulled her back from the brink. “Come away before it is you who falls through the floor!”
