Privilege and Policy: A Modern Retelling of Pride & Prejudice in the Political Arena

In Washington, everyone has an agenda. His is harder to read than she thinks. Liz Bennet writes about power for a living; who holds it, who abuses it, and who pays the price when the powerful look the other way. As an investigative journalist for The Longbourn Review, she's spent her career refusing to be impressed by proximity to influence. And she's very good at her job. Which makes it all the more humiliating that she is so spectacularly wrong about Fitzwilliam Darcy. Brilliant and methodical, he's the kind of political strategist Washington is built on, moving through the city with the certainty of a man who has never backed a losing candidate. When he dismisses Liz at a campaign fundraiser, her connections provincial, her career a niche blog, her family an unfortunate liability, she files his name under subjects to hold accountable and begins to build her case. A very convincing one. Even if it's wrong. Privilege & Policy is a propulsive, witty reimagining of Austen's beloved novel for the age of cable news and political dynasties. Where pride is called statecraft, prejudice is called opposition research, and two people who are wrong about each other in perfectly complementary ways must decide whether to build something new. For fans of political drama, slow-burn romance, and the satisfying crunch of a protagonist forced to revise their entire worldview. Book 2 in the Modern Pride & Prejudice Series.
