The Austen in Play series by Michelle Hercules puts a sports romance spin on classic Jane Austen stories. The series launched in 2025 with Puck and Prejudice, which transplants the Pride and Prejudice dynamic into the world of college ice hockey.
The book takes the familiar tension between Austen’s Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy and reworks it for a new adult audience with an athletic setting. It combines Hercules’s established strengths in sports romance with the proven appeal of a literary retelling.
