Lizzy Bennet works at a coffee shop. Lizzy Bennet has written a novel. Lizzy Bennet submits this novel to a publishing house, whose editor is none other than... Fitzwilliam Darcy. And he rejects it, callously. Only when the two meet down the line is this blatant emotional disregard converted, albeit gradually, to affection, pining, and a longing for a feisty Lizzy. A fun yet complex modern variation on the all-too-classic difficult relationship between Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam.

Ari Rhoge
Author · 2 books

Ari Rhoge has been writing fan fiction for a long, long time. She loves spinning variations on classics such as Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Emma, and Northanger Abbey. Her favourite authors are Jane Austen (of course), Gillian Flynn, Adelle Waldman, and Nick Hornby. She draws inspiration from everywhere—her favourite books and television shows, her wild family, her wee-hours gym escapades, and the goings-on in the coffee shops she loves to write in. She would love to one day write a YA adventure story similar to The Hobbit—just on uppers. Ari lives in Philadelphia with her large family and their German Shepherd. Her ideal life is living on an island, hanging out with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan. Follow Ari for updates!
