Elizabeth Camden Meet Me in Virginia

She believes in elegance and tradition. He's all about grit and smashing through obstacles. Together, they're a disaster waiting to happen-or the perfect match. Alice Chadwick, a history professor devoted to the genteel values of Jane Austen's world, has spent her career championing kindness and mannerly comportment in a cutthroat academic environment. But her dream of elevating Austen's ideals is on the brink of collapse-her colleagues want her fired, and a scandal threatens to ruin her completely. Enter Jack Latimer, a world-renowned golf course architect with zero patience for old-world charm. He's brash, bold, and determined to build his masterpiece on a valuable stretch of Virginia property-even if it means demolishing the historic building Alice hopes could save her career. When their clashing goals spark fiery confrontations, neither is prepared for the unexpected discovery hidden on the property-a find that could save them both if they can stop bickering long enough to work together. As their partnership deepens, so does the inconvenient attraction simmering between them. Will their undeniable chemistry lead to a happily-ever-after-or will their differences derail them both?
