What to expect

Anne Elliot knows a lot about making the best of a bad situation. Babysit her sister’s rowdy boys during their family vacation? Sure. While camping? Sounds great. She’s a little less prepared when the hunky cabin neighbor everyone’s talking about turns out to be Eric Wentworth. Eight years ago, Anne broke off their engagement, afraid they were too young. It was a decision she’s regretted ever since. But Eric seems fine, and even suggests they stop avoiding each other for the week and enjoy having mutual friends. That’s easy for him to say when Anne’s flirty sisters-in-law are so eager for his attention. Eric Wentworth is not okay. He’s sort of accidentally dating one of Anne’s relatives. He’s introduced his lovelorn best friend to Anne, and they’ve hit it off. Worst of all, they won’t be parting at the end of week like he thought. Anne lives in the city he’s moving to, and cutting her out of his life is impossible when she’s everywhere he is. Especially in his thoughts. Always in his thoughts. They swore they’d never give each other a second chance, but sometimes life has other plans… Don’t miss this modern take on Jane Austen’s Persuasion with all the characters you know and love.
