London's theater scene just got a whole lot more complicated when broke actress Margot finds herself sharing a mansion with the most infuriating man she's ever met.
When Count Jonas d'Alenq saves Margot's immersive Pride and Prejudice show, she expects gratitude, not complications. But the continental nobleman has a condition: he's joining the cast as Mr. Darcy himself. Suddenly, Margot's playing opposite a rich, handsome man who's treating the role like it's his actual job description.
What starts as professional resentment quickly becomes something more complicated. As Margot's character Caroline is supposed to swoon over Jonas's Darcy, she's horrified to realize she's actually falling for the real man behind the performance. The grumpy count with archaic views on women? Turns out he's hiding secrets and a heart that might just be softer than he lets on.
This spicy tribute to Pride and Prejudice captures all the tension you love from Austen's classic while delivering modern, laugh-out-loud moments. Margot is the imperfect heroine we all root for—stubborn, smart, and not afraid to challenge the frustratingly attractive count. Jonas might be playing a grumpy Mr. Darcy, but he's got secrets and a single dad backstory that makes him impossible to resist.
