TEASER:
The warm pub buzzed with Friday night chatter, but Alyce's world had just gone silent.
She stood frozen behind the wooden pillar, her hand pressed against the rough grain to steady herself. Three meters away, William Darcy's voice carried over the ambient noise with perfect, devastating clarity.
"A provincial sort of cleverness, nothing more.""What happens when the man who insulted you becomes the man you can't stop thinking about?"

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Welcome to the classics, reimagined and unleashed!I take the characters from classic literature—the ones who were trapped by their times, their authors, or their tragic endings—and I make them feisty, powerful, smart, and fun. Arm them with supernatural abilities and drop them into modern worlds and apocalyptic scenarios. They battle through trials and tribulations, discover who they're meant to be, and yes, they earn their well-deserved happy endings.
If you love stories that blend Jane Austen with apocalyptic stakes, Shakespeare with superpowers, and classic literature with contemporary grit, you've found your next obsession.When I'm not reimagining the classics, I'm wrangling two Gen Z kids and two brother cats who think they own the place.
