Publisher's Synopsis
Perhaps falling in love was not a momentous initial attraction, but a growing realisation that one's life was simply happier, better, when in company with a certain gentleman.
Just before Mr Bingley's ball at Netherfield Park, Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy unexpectedly departs Meryton, leaving no further impediment to prevent Jane Bennet's romance with her handsome neighbour. Unfortunately, Mr Darcy returns to Netherfield on the Bingleys' wedding day, just in time to launch disaster into the proceedings. Elizabeth Bennet's attempt to put the wedding-wrecker in his place only worsens matters when her private conversation with Mr Darcy becomes a misunderstood marriage proposal. Mr Darcy is willing to put everything right-for a shocking price.
Can Elizabeth bear even a temporary alliance with this incomprehensible, possibly roguish, but certainly ardent Mr Darcy?
Can Mr Darcy convince the intriguing and charming Elizabeth Bennet to overlook his sins long enough to become his bride, or must he banish her from his dreams forever?
