Stubborn Hearts
(2026)(A book in the Pride and Prejudice variation murder mystery series)
A novel by Nora Jane Crawford
Disclaimer: This is a modern-day variation of Pride and Prejudice. It does not follow the Regency-era setting or language of the original. If you're looking for a historical retelling, this version may not be for you.
Elizabeth Bennet met William Darcy through her best friend Charlotte Lucas, who was married to his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam. She dated the multi-millionaire for one month, decided she knew everything she needed to know, and walked away. That was eight years ago.
Her sister is married to his best friend. Their worlds have never stopped overlapping. Somehow, they have managed not to be in the same room for more than one hour.
Until now.
When Charlotte and Fitzwilliam die in a terrible accident, the will they leave behind has exactly one condition for their daughter, Mia's guardianship: Elizabeth and Darcy must raise her together, under one roof, or she goes to the system.
Nobody thought it would ever matter. It matters now.
Same apartment. One year. A teenager who sees far too much.
And eight years of unfinished business living quietly in the walls.
Stubborn Peopleis a swoony, funny modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice about the family you didn't plan for, the person you walked away from eight years ago, and what happens when you finally stop being so stubborn about it.
