When Elizabeth Bennet agrees to fake-date her sister’s boyfriend, she doesn’t expect to spend weeks working alongside his arrogant and aloof best friend, Fitzwilliam Darcy. As their forced proximity turns into something neither of them expected, a misunderstanding involving Darcy’s sworn enemy threatens to destroy everything.
Tropes: fake dating • forced proximity • friends to lovers • women in STEM • happily ever after
I definitely recommend this for readers who enjoy seeing Darcy and Elizabeth transplanted into a contemporary setting while still remaining very much in character.
Goodreads review, 5 stars
This is definitely a modern version of Pride & Prejudice with some twists. We do get our HEA!

“Okay, you’re back to glowering. That’s clearly enough socialising for you for one day. We wouldn’t want to push our luck—Bingley would probably be cross if I broke you.” With a smirk, she turned away to join back in with the conversation on her right.
I drained what was left of my pint and sat in silence for a while, staring at the table. I wasn’t surprised I was glowering, because this felt horrible. Elizabeth was with my best friend. I shouldn’t like her this much.
