Beyond Pride and Prejudice
BEYOND PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
An original contemporary romance | BookNivo
She knows how to mend a damaged book. Trusting the wrong man is another matter.
Clara Mercer returns to the seaside town of Ashcombe expecting to sort her mother's belongings and leave. Instead, she finds herself fighting for the reading room her mother helped build: a place of green lamps, borrowed warmth, and people who have nowhere else to go.
Then Adrian Shaw arrives with a surveyor's folder and a family name Clara already distrusts.
He sees a building that needs an honest plan. She sees a home that cannot be replaced. As repair evenings become shared dinners, their disagreements begin to reveal something neither expected. But one photograph threatens the fragile trust between them, and saving the reading room will take more than a generous gesture.
To find a future together, Clara and Adrian must question the stories they tell about each other, make room for difficult truths, and learn that being right is not the same as listening.
Tender, witty, and quietly hopeful, Beyond Pride and Prejudice is a complete original short romance about community, grief, second impressions, and a love built with care.
For readers who enjoy bookish settings, gentle romantic tension, thoughtful dialogue, and hopeful endings.
