Pride, Prejudice and Paintings

A curator at one of New York City's finest art museums, Bennet Reynolds spends her days under the oppressive rule of a miserable boss and most of what little free time she has trying to avoid the matchmaking schemes of her meddling and overbearing mother. At least at work, Bennet has always been able to find comfort among her beloved paintings. All that changes when she is assigned the task of putting together the exhibition of a monumental art collection gifted to the museum by the demanding socialite Vivian Winthrop who insists her nephew, Luke Dawlton, help oversee the project. One of the city's leading businessmen, Luke, is as arrogant as he is handsome. Forced to work together, Bennet begins to see him in a new light. Could there be more to Luke than what she first thought? And what about the charming stranger, Jeremy Burlow, who has suddenly come into her life? Just as things seem more complicated than ever, a series of events develop that threaten her career and her family. Bennet must decide just who to trust and whether she has the courage to listen to her heart and follow her dreams.

Set in Manhattan's demanding art world, this modern twist on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is a novel about first impressions and second chances.
