Semi-retired, famed, British romance film director Henry Brooks finds himself in quite a predicament. When his playboy public persona threatens to risk his chance of directing Pride & Prejudice, he searches for a way to convince the studio to hire him.
Where will he find a Jane Austen fan that can help him turn his public image around?
When Lucy moves to London for a fresh start at the age of thirty-seven, her only companions are her fictional boyfriends. Yet, in the land of Jane Austen, that surely will be more than enough. After a chance encounter at a coffee shop, she befriends a group of twenty-somethings, and suddenly London is starting to feel like home.
When her new friends invite their father to join them at the coffee shop one night, Lucy can't take her eyes off the handsome older man in front of her. That is until he opens his mouth. She should have known not to consider him-he isn't a fictional man, after all. To make matters worse, he even teases her for her love of romance novels. Until he needs her help, that is...
Will Lucy be willing to help Henry improve his image to appeal to Jane Austen fans like her?
If it means a new adaptation of one of her favorite novels, it might be worth the aggravation...for Jane.
