When the arrogant Blake Hansen steals Addie Preston's promotion at the library, he pretty much rubs her nose in it. But Addie, who dreams of being a full-fledged librarian, decides to stick it out. She loves surrounding herself with books and keeping her father's memory alive in the building where they spent so much time together.
Soon, Addie learns that her beloved library will be torn down to make room for a larger facility, and she has to make a choice. Fight, or let go?
To complicate things, she finds herself attracted to Blake, who is engaged to someone else. Will Blake and Addie ever resolve their differences?
This is a modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice, with hints of the other Jane Austen books as well.

Roommates with Benefits [COMPLETED]
Emma has sworn never to fall in love, but when circumstances force her to move in with her brother's best friend there are definite sparks. Like when he accidentally picks up her *toy*... Or when she walks in on him naked in the shower... Maybe... maybe they should just do it once... to get it out of their systems. Knightley has been her brother's best friend for as long as she can remember. And now they're all at the same university. It's not until she moves into his apartment that she notices just how grown-up he's become. He's no longer the scrawny boy she never paid attention to. Ripped and handsome, he's no stranger to taking women home. But he never lets them stay the night. Knightley never expected this. Somehow, he's ended up living with his best friend's little sister. And she has turned hot as hell. He does not need the image of her with a vibrator taking up space in his head. She is off limits. Of course she is. No matter what kind of feelings he has for her. This is a brother's best friend, roommates-to-lovers with a secret relationship and steamy benefits. (❤️18+ recommended❤️) It's unedited, so there might be mistakes throughout. Thanks for your understanding! Book 2 in the Benefits series. This is a standalone, but it follows Pride and Hate with Benefits. (Both are inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Emma.)

Pride: an austen reimagined novel | 1
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a girl who's just travelled halfway around the world will be in want of a bed." When Lily Brewer is shipped off to boarding school in England, she runs into the insufferably arrogant Austin Cooper. He's haughty, rude and thinks he's better than everyone else. Shame, then, that his twin brother Jax is so sweet and kind and has a not-so-subtle thing for Lily's oblivious roommate, Anne. This is a modern young adult adaptation of Jane Austen's beloved 'Pride & Prejudice'. In it, you'll find all your favourite characters and then some. *This is part one of a re-working of my story 'Netherfield Prep'. I'm splitting it into two shorter pieces, giving them a tidy and a re-write.*Kumpleto
Falling in Love + other Conditions of Living
Twenty-year-old Rachel West has dedicated her life to her one, big dream -- to become a respected journalist. Fresh out of university and over the moon to be starting her new job at a national newspaper, Rachel feels that her dream may soon be a reality. But when it becomes apparent her new employers aren't interested in hard hitting exposés, Rachel finds herself having to write about the one thing she knows nothing of -- relationships. Although largely sceptical and somewhat terrified of what she'll uncover, Rachel is determined to prove herself. So, with her small group of friends acting as guides, she embarks into the uncharted world of dating. And as her journey takes her deeper into the pursuits of love, Rachel starts to wonder if maybe she shouldn't have been so quick to judge. *This book is being severely edited, please excuse any/all mistakes, errors or general weirdness*Kumpleto

To her luck, the first step to moving on starts ten years in the past, when she has to go to her ten year high school reunion. Luca Brince is content with his teaching job as psychology professor, and meaningless one night stands. After seeing his parents marriage fall apart, he doesn't think there's any point to it. Yet he can't seem to shake his friends and family off his back to settle down. She said she'd never go back to the man who broke her heart ten years ago, but when they get locked in the janitors closet together at their 10 year high school reunion, they strike up a deal. Nora will be Luca's date to a wedding to get his friends off his back about settling down, and Luca will let her pick his brain about the psychology behind love for her new book. She wanted a fresh start, but is her fresh start with her ex high school sweetheart? Quote from the book: "He looked nothing short of beautiful, his features sharp and strong-willed, but when he broke out into a grin his features softened into feminine beauty. Two completely opposite sides of a sword, yet both struck me somewhere in the same place that hadn't forgotten about him all these years." ***still undergoing edits!!!*** ***trigger warning: domestic violence, strong language, sexual contents***
Pride and Prejudice
"Pride and Prejudice is an 1813 romantic novel of manners written by Jane Austen. The novel follows the character development of Elizabeth Bennet, the dynamic protagonist of the book, who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and eventually comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness. A classic piece filled with comedy, its humour lies in its honest depiction of manners, education, marriage and money during the Regency era in Great Britain. Mr Bennet of Longbourn estate has five daughters, but because his property is entailed it can only be passed from male heir to male heir. Consequently, Mr Bennet's family will be destitute upon his death. Because his wife also lacks an inheritance, it is imperative that at least one of the girls marry well to support the others upon his death, which is a motivation that drives the plot. Jane Austen's opening line--"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife"-is a sentence filled with irony and sets the tone for the book. The novel revolves around the importance of marrying for love, not simply for economic gain or social prestige, despite the communal pressure to make a good (i.e., wealthy) match." -Wikipedia More readable version of "Pride and Prejudice" from the Gutenberg library.Kumpleto
I'm Normally Perfect (re-upload)
⚠️ Very important ⚠️ !!! This is a re-upload; I did NOT write this book. The author deleted their account. A brainy, awkward young American moves to England to attend Oxford University. She befriends a much older (historically heterosexual) female English professor. Over the years, their relationship evolves from one of protective friendship to something romantic, highlighting the difficulties and joys of age gap, lesbian relationships. 1,914 pages. (I'm not sure if this would count as Mature or not- it's borderline in some places later on, so I'm marking it so, just in case. It's certainly not HBO in here.) Please read the first chapter!! If the author will contact me, I'll delete the book immediately!! Author: BlakeVBurtonKumpleto

A 'Pride and Prejudice' Remix. Beth Bennett, a poor girl in a fancy boarding school, faces class prejudice and romance when the school goes co-ed and she meets arrogant Will Darcy. [THIS STORY IS COMPLETE] ********** Elisabeth 'Beth' Bennett wasn't born in the same circle as the other girls at Netherfield Academy, but her mother's advantageous third marriage has allowed her to enjoy their world. Now she's at the end of her education and is looking forward to what lies beyond. That is, if she can make it to the end of the term in one piece. In a bid to bring in more students, the academy is going co-ed, and has brought in the boys early to test the waters. Among them are Charlie Bingley, a cheerful boy with a soft spot for Beth's best friend, Jenny. His companion William Darcy isn't at all pleased with the situation, or with Beth for that matter. While Beth tries to avoid interacting with the boys wherever possible, it seems fate is determined to throw them together. An adaptation of Jane Austen's classic, 'Pride and Prejudice'.
