From the authors of Emma of 83rd Street, a modern retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice set in the Hamptons, where classes clash, rumours run wild, and love has an infuriating habit of popping up where least expected ...
Elizabeth Bennet has lived in the Hamptons her whole life and she can't wait to start a new life further afield. But after putting her own dreams on hold to help her family, she's still here, surfing the same beach every morning and waiting for something to change. She's not holding her breath though ... not even when her sister Jane starts flirting with Charlie Pierce, the hot new bachelor in town, who introduces Lizzy to his even hotter friend.
Will Darcy is everything Lizzy Bennet is not. Aloof, arrogant ... and rich. Of course, money has never mattered to him. And everyone is annoying him – especially Charlie, who insists on setting him up with Lizzy Bennet. She is clearly all wrong for him ... but why can't he stop thinking about her?
Lizzy is sure Will hates everyone. He thinks she wilfully misunderstands them. But just as they strike an uneasy truce, mistakes and misconceptions threaten the peace. Between a hurricane, a drunken voicemail and a deceptive real estate agent, the two must sift through the gossip and lies to protect the happiness of the people they love – even if it means sacrificing their own.

      Bellezza and Harding put a beachy spin on Pride and Prejudice in their breezy second For the Love of Austen romance (after Emma of 83rd Street). Avid surfer Lizzy Bennet, 25, puts her dream of being a foreign affairs correspondent on hold after her father has a health scare, devoting all of her time and energy to her chaotic but lovable working-class family and their struggling bakery. Lizzy loves her seaside home in East Hampton—but she loathes tourist season, when the rich and famous overrun the town. This year, that means the arrival of the haughty and insufferable Will Darcy. As Lizzy’s older sister, Jane, and Will’s best friend, Charlie, fall for each other, a misunderstanding on the Fourth of July pulls Lizzy and Will into their undercurrent. The authors add lots of fun flourishes to their otherwise fairly straight retelling, including a tropical storm and plenty of small-town gossip. The romance itself works well, but the real highlight is the interactions among Lizzy, her sisters, and the flighty and impulsive Mrs. Bennet. Austenites will be over the moon.
