In this slow-burn yet highly combustible enemies-to-lovers romance,
perfect for fans of Rachel Lynn Solomon and Abby Jimenez, two stage
actors find themselves falling for each other with each onstage kiss . .
. against their better judgment.
Actress Eden Blake's biggest claim to fame is a mortifying
pharmaceutical commercial for male enhancement pills. That is until the
female lead on the nationwide tour of Broadway's hit Pride & Prejudice
musical abruptly quits and Eden is called up to fill the role.
The cast of Liz and Darcy: The Musical has just settled into a
three-week run in Washington DC, and Broadway royalty Brennon Thorne is
set to play Darcy. Despite Brennon's reputation as being "a dream to
work with," Eden's first impression of him is more like a nightmare.
Now, she'll have to kiss the pompous jerk eight shows per week.
Brennon can't disguise his disdain for understudies like Eden. But New
York is filled with reminders of his most recent failed relationship,
and this American tour is a much-needed distraction from his loneliness.
As Eden and Brennon take the stage playing Jane Austen's most memorable
characters, their reality begins to mirror Elizabeth and
Darcy's--explosive chemistry and all. Together, they power through press
performances and curtain calls, even as rumors of Brennon's checkered
romantic past resurface and prove to Eden that he can't be trusted.
But with each choreographed stage kiss, Eden and Brennon's passion for
the stage--and each other--ignites. Maybe, just maybe, not all rumors
are to be believed--and not all showmances are doomed to fail.
