Preview Ego and Enmity: A Pride and Prejudice Retelling
Damen Petrakis and Ig Stormare loathe each other and lust after each other in equal measure, taking pains never to be in the same place at the same time. Unfortunately for them, they’ve been tasked by their respective bosses to successfully plan and execute a high-profile charity event without killing one another in the process. Damen thinks Ig is an arrogant and insufferable control-freak whose idea of a good time involves a rousing PowerPoint presentation. Ig believes Damen to be an unrepentant straight playboy who takes nothing seriously ever since a knee injury forced him out of professional baseball.
As the two men try to work together, they discover first impressions—and sometimes second and third ones—are not always accurate. Damen learns that Ig is still recovering from the death of his firefighter boyfriend, afraid to let people get close to him. Ig sees Damen struggling to earn his father’s approval after the crash and burn of his athletic hopes. Ig is surprised to learn that Damen is bisexual dealing with the rejection of his last boyfriend and a drinking problem, just as Damen is shocked to see the all-too-human emotions lurking beneath Ig’s charmless exterior.
But neither Damen nor Ig’s coping methods do them any favors. As the night of the charity ball looms closer, the two men must get over their egos and their enmity to have any hope of making it—and their relationship—a real success.
