Pride and Pemberley | Dee Garretson
Second chances with a little romance thrown in. One crumbling estate. One American. One Brit. Both want the place. American Libby Darcy, a modern-day descendant of Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet, wants to renovate the rundown estate of Pemberley she's inherited in England with her sister, but she's faced with renovating her life at the same time. After failing the bar exam and breaking off her engagement with an overbearing fiancé, she's riddled with self-doubt, not sure she can even deal with a plumbing leak, much less fix up a massive estate. To turn the place into a successful wedding venue business, she'll have to keep it out of the hands of a devious hotel developer while trying not to go broke with a money pit of a house. Throw in a ditzy ghost, a movie star bride, a lost pug, plus the distraction of a handsome landscape architect who wants to buy the place himself, and Libby has her work cut out for her.
