Prideful & Persuaded: A Jane Austen Crossover Romance Bethany Delleman

Prideful & Persuaded follows six minor and sometimes villainous characters as they scheme and stumble towards marriage, each seeking their own vision of happily ever after. If, like Jane Austen, pictures of perfection make you sick and wicked, this is the novel for you!

In this playful, clean, Jane Austen-inspired crossover romance, Caroline Bingley (Pride & Prejudice) travels to Bath, determined to marry at last. She could never have imagined that three highly eligible men have each resolved to find a wife: Sir Walter Elliot (Persuasion), Major Frederick Tilney (Northanger Abbey), and Tom Bertram (Mansfield Park). With only Elizabeth Elliot (Persuasion) and Nancy Steele (Sense & Sensibility) standing between her and perfect happiness, who will Caroline choose?

Will Caroline follow her heart or be blinded by wealth and titles? Could Sir Walter ever love anyone more than himself? Can anyone live up to Elizabeth's standards? Has Tom really left his frivolous past behind him? Is Frederick done breaking hearts? And does Nancy have any chance at all?

Do any of them really deserve a happy ending?
