The first novel of New York Times bestselling
author Jude Deveraux’s breathtaking new series set in Summer
Hill, a small town where love takes center stage against the
backdrop of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice
Enter Elizabeth Bennet. Chef Casey Reddick has had it
up to here with men. When she arrives in the charming town
of Summer Hill, Virginia, she leaves behind a demanding boss
at a famous D.C. restaurant and a breakup with a boyfriend
jealous of her success. Some peace and quiet on the
picturesque Tattwell plantation is just what she needs to
start fresh. But the tranquility is broken one misty morning
when she sees a gorgeous naked man on the porch of her cottage.
Enter Mr. Darcy. What Tate Landers, Hollywood
heartthrob and owner of Tattwell, doesn’t need on a
bittersweet trip to his ancestral home is a woman spying on
him from his guest cottage. Mistaking Casey for a reporter,
Tate tries to run her out of her own house. His anger, which
looks so good on the screen, makes a very bad first
impression on Casey. Hollywood he may be, but he’s no
sweetheart to Casey—and she lets him know it!
The plot thickens. Sparks fly—literally—when Casey is
recruited to play Elizabeth Bennet opposite Tate’s Mr. Darcy
in a stage adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Just
brushing past Tate makes Casey’s whole body hum. As they
spar on and off stage, Casey begins to think she’s been too
quick to judge. Tate is more down-to-earth than Casey
expected, and she finds herself melting under his smoldering
gaze. But then Tate’s handsome ex-brother-in-law, Devlin
Haines, who is playing Wickham, tells Casey some horrifying
stories about Tate. She is upset and confused as she tries
to figure out who and what to believe. As she finds herself
falling for Tate, Casey needs to know: Is the intense,
undeniable chemistry between them real, or is this just a
performance that ends when the curtain falls?
