Pemberley and Pastelitos

Lizzie Benitez has clawed her way to the top of Miami's cutthroat business world on cafecito and sheer determination—and she is not about to let some insufferably handsome British royal ruin everything she's built.

When Mr. Pemberley arrives in sun-soaked Miami to evaluate whether Lizzie's firm is worthy of the career-defining contract she's spent years chasing, she expects a stuffy, forgettable executive. What she gets is arrogant, devastatingly attractive, and somehow always within arm's reach—at her office, at her family's raucous Christmas celebrations, and in her very vivid, very inconvenient dreams. He seems convinced she's not enough. She's convinced he's insufferable. They're both spectacularly wrong about each other.

Complicating matters is Lizzie's gloriously chaotic Cuban family: an influencer sister who documents every disaster for her followers, an Abuela who dispenses wisdom and unsolicited romantic advice in equal measure, and relatives who treat the holidays like a contact sport. Pemberley, meanwhile, is hiding secrets about his title, his heart, and exactly why he keeps looking at Lizzie like she's the most fascinating woman he's ever encountered.

This steamy, laugh-out-loud Pride and Prejudice retelling wraps interracial romance, royal intrigue, and sizzling chemistry in Miami's holiday heat. By the time Lizzie realizes her enemy might be her greatest love story, the question isn't whether she'll fall—it's whether her pride will let her admit it first.
