Tolerable by Ruth Mitchell

A hilarious and heartwarming modern twist on Pride and Prejudice

When I receive a Thank You note from my client Mr. Darcy, I picture a genteel white-haired gentleman. Then I Google him. Turns out, Mr. Darcy is HAWT! And much younger than I expected. Thirty-one and head of an almond empire, here I am 26, working two jobs and barely scraping by.
I must admit, after seeing his photo,I dress a little nicer when I go to Pemberley offices.
When I finally do meet Liam Darcy, he’s a HUGE disappointment. Sure, he’s just as tall and handsome as his photos. But he’s rude and awkward. And that’s before I overhear him telling his friend that I’m barely “tolerable!”
The first time I met Lettie Benson I called her tolerable. Oof!
And she will NEVER let me forget it.
She says I’m the last man she’d ever kiss.
I’m hoping she means that as much as I meant it when I said she was tolerable.
