Elizabeth Klett
Only imagine a summer by the sea. Perhaps you will meet the love of your life.
When Elizabeth Bennet inherits a crumbling seaside mansion in Brighton, she expects renovation headaches but not romantic chaos. All plans for a peaceful restoration are shattered when the Viscount Saye rents the property before it's even remotely habitable and arrives to stay with his cousin Mr. Darcy in his party.
Mr. Darcy, his pride wounded from Elizabeth’s rejection in Kent and his cousin’s insinuation that heartache has made him stout, hopes a seaside escape will do him good. But when his new land lady is revealed to be the woman who spurned him, it soon becomes clear that the house is an apt metaphor for his own romantic aspirations. Every repair reveals a new disaster, every encounter with Elizabeth leads to a heated argument—or a stolen kiss—and no amount of fresh plaster can cover the cracks of their passionately volatile relationship. But there is always room for improvement.
With their undeniable attraction brewing and a house quite literally crumbling around them, can two stubborn hearts find their way to happiness amid the rubble?
