Ellie Benton knows exactly where she stands at The Ledges Golf and Country Club: on the outside.
As a small-town golf coach surrounded by old money and polished smiles, Ellie has learned not to expect acceptance from the club’s wealthy families. But when her older sister catches the eye of one of its most eligible bachelors, Ellie is pulled into a summer of social rivalries, backhanded compliments, and Will Pemberley.
Confident, privileged, and infuriatingly attractive, Will is everything Ellie has sworn she doesn’t want. Their first meeting leaves her convinced he’s just another arrogant outsider looking down on her. Will should be equally eager to keep his distance.
Instead, he can’t seem to stay away.
Summer keeps throwing them together, on the golf course, at tournaments, aboard Lake of the Ozarks boat parties, and within a social circle neither of them can escape. As sharp words turn into lingering glances and dockside confessions, Ellie begins to wonder whether she misjudged the man beneath the privilege.
But Will’s summer in Missouri was never meant to last, and Ellie knows better than to fall for someone whose life exists a world away from hers.
With the end of summer approaching, can Ellie risk her heart on the man she once wanted nothing to do with, or will she walk away before Will has the chance to prove her wrong?
Pars and Prejudice is an Austen-inspired contemporary romance featuring opposites attract, forced proximity, small-town charm, wealthy-family drama, and a love neither of them saw coming.
