Emma, Lizbeth, Amelia, and Katie are modern women with classic problems. In Modern Persuasion, Emma put her career and family above her own needs. She's cut out the man she loves, is exhausted from carrying the emotional load for her family, and her dream career as an editor is on the brink of disaster. Now she has to face the man she gave up eight years ago in order to keep her career. In Pride, Prejudice, and Pledging, Lizbeth holds everyone to impossible standards - even herself. It's her senior year of college, she's president of her sorority, and she has to finish her honor's thesis to graduate. She doesn't expect to meet a man who holds her to even higher standards and criticizes her at every turn. In Love and War in Woodhouse Hall, Amelia has meddled in her friend's love lives and lost the people closest to her. Now she has to earn their forgiveness before it's too late. None more than Adam, her best friend and, she realizes when he no longer wants to speak to her, the only one she loves. In Love from Northanger Parks, Katie, this graduate student and project manager has an impulsive streak in life and love. After spending an intense week together, she risks everything to kiss YouTube personality Ethan Thornton. When he rejects her, she's heartbroken and goes home to figure out what she did wrong. If you like classics made contemporary and modern stories of love then you'll love these stand alone, lighthearted modernization of Jane Austen's classics.
