Building Mr. Darcy Ashlinn Craven

Mr. Darcy springs to life as an AI - a VERY modern retellingZoe, a free-spirited programmer, has the cure to two centuries of female disillusionment: an AI that looks, speaks, and thinks like Mr. Darcy. She's not about to let the chauvinistic atmosphere at her company, or her overbearing colleague, Max, get in the way of creating the perfect man. Even if he isn't quite human... Max, an analytical manager, has crossed a continent to secure this high-profile position. His daydreaming teammate Zoe may not know it, but everyone's jobs depend on the new AI being a huge success. Mr. Darcy needs to sell, even if that means selling out a few literary details. When the AI starts using its scary degree of emotional intelligence to reveal their individual secrets, Zoe and Max must rethink everything, and a surprising connection begins to develop. Will they cling to their prejudices or toss pride aside and admit that love is stronger than a fantasy?
