They made a deal in jest, but love never plays by the rules.
Years ago, Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy struck a reckless bargain on the one day they managed to get along: If neither of them were married within five years, they would marry each other. It was a silly, fleeting promise made in jest—and promptly forgotten.
Or so they thought.
As that fateful age looms, both are horrified to realize the other remembers their pact perfectly. Determined to avoid a lifetime with the one person who can unravel them with a single glance—or a sharp retort—they each set out to sabotage the agreement. Their solution? Help the other person find anyone else to marry, and fast. But in the process of orchestrating each others romantic entanglements, they keep accidentally ruining every potential match.
Could their greatest obstacle be the very thing they’re trying to avoid? Or is it possible that the heart has a playbook all its own?
