Pride and Prejudice and the City

by Rachael Lippincott

First published 2023

Seventeen-year-old Audrey Cameron has lost her confidence after a humiliating encounter with her ex-boyfriend. Her friends push her to take more chances and put herself back out there. She never imagines this advice will land her in Regency England, two centuries before her birth. Lucy Sinclair lives a constrained life under her controlling father's thumb. She faces pressure to accept a marriage proposal she desperately wants to refuse. When Audrey appears claiming to come from the future, Lucy finds her first real excitement in years. The two young women bond while trying to solve the mystery of Audrey's time travel and find a way home. Neither expects to develop feelings for each other instead of the men their families expect them to marry. Their growing romance defies not only social expectations but the laws of time itself. Audrey and Lucy must decide if their connection can overcome the impossible barrier between their worlds.
