Jane Brannen thinks she has everything planned out. She will become a famous author like her namesake Jane Austen. The first step to her plan is meeting bestselling author J. E. Fairfax who has come to the seaside village of Whickett Harbor and is giving a talk at the public library. Locked out of the program because they are serving wine, Jane plans to listen in from a secret spot in the attic and learn the secrets of becoming an author. Which is where the real-life Jane Austen story begins. A hurricane rolls in and Jane gets stuck with the author's snobbish son, Devon, instead. They survive their first adventure together, but stormy seas are still headed Jane's way. Her familiar life with her frumpy marine biologist dad is about to be threatened by the sudden return of her mom and her movie director fiance, Erik. They've come to file for custody and Jane decides she needs to find her father a suitable mate, and thus a suitable step-mother. She latches on to the sophisticated J. E. Fairfax, even though the perfect choice is the reliable nanny/housekeeper already there. Jane's efforts to hook up dad and the author throw Devon even more annoyingly into her life. Of course any Jane Austen fan knows the story will unfold in unexpected ways and stand-offish boys have their charms, too.
