Pemberley and Pastelitos

About this book

Lizzie Benitez is the undisputed queen of efficiency in Miami, and she is finally on the verge of securing a career-defining project. Her professional world is perfectly ordered until the arrival of the infuriatingly handsome Mr. Pemberley. Tasked with evaluating her performance, he is condescending, judgmental, and seemingly determined to undermine her at every turn. For Lizzie, he is a major obstacle standing between her and the financial security she has spent her entire life chasing. As if the workplace tension isn't enough, Lizzie’s personal life descends into delightful chaos. Her influencer sister is constantly documenting their family dramas for TikTok, her no-filter Abuela keeps dropping truth bombs over morning cafecito, and a charming new arrival named Mr. Wick begins sending confusing signals. Caught between high-stakes deadlines and the overwhelming love of her loud, meddling Cuban family during the holiday season, Lizzie finds herself losing her grip on her carefully curated plans. This vibrant *Pride and Prejudice* retelling is a spicy, multicultural enemies-to-lovers romance that captures the heat of Miami. Filled with Spanglish banter, pastelitos, and forced proximity, the story forces Lizzie to confront a difficult question: is Pemberley truly her enemy, or is her own stubborn heart the only thing standing in the way of her happiness?
