Modern Jane

In a family of hopeless romantics and dreamers, Elinor is the sensible one. Her mom is an artist, her sister is a poet, and Elinor’s just doing her best to keep the family afloat.After her father’s untimely death, she takes over his job managing Norland Park, a rustic family resort in Big Sur, California.Elinor doesn’t mind unclogging toilets, smoking hornet nests, and dealing with grumpy guests as long as it means she can continue to live with her mom and sister in their beloved Bumble Cottage rent fee—a perk of being camp manager.But when Norland Park gets a new owner, Elinor’s idyllic life is threatened.She can’t deny her initial attraction to the new owner’s son, Edward. But neither his charming smile, dry sense of humor, nor their shared childhood memories, can make up for the fact that he’s working to destroy her beloved home by turning it into a luxury resort.Book 4 in the Modern Jane Series, Unromantic is a contemporary retelling of Elinor’s story from Sense and Sensibility. It can be enjoyed on its own and read out of order, like all the books in the series. However, Unromantic should be read before Romantic, Marianne’s story from Sense and Sensibility–available fall 2026.
