Modern Persuasion

21st Century Austen 1

Emma Shaw is a modern woman with a classic dilemma—love or career? Eight years ago, she chose ambition over romance, cutting out the man she loved and carrying the emotional load for her family. Now, her dream job is slipping through her fingers, and the only way to save it is to work with the one person she’s spent years avoiding, Fredrick Wentworth, the man she let go. When his book launch falls apart, Emma is forced back into Fredrick's orbit, embarking on a book tour that could either revive her career… or reopen old wounds. But as miles pass and sparks reignite, she starts to wonder—can she rewrite her own story and finally get the ending she wants? Modern Persuasion is a witty, heartfelt contemporary romance perfect for fans of second chances, forced proximity, workplace tension, and road trip romance.
