With everything in his favour, 'tis no wonder Fitzwilliam Darcy thinks well of himself. The head of an ancient Norman family, Mr Darcy is the generous and revered master of Pemberley, a respected MP, and a valued friend and neighbour. The powerful Earl of Matlock, his uncle, and his cousin, Viscount Milton, ally with him in Parliament, increasing not only his political influence but his eligibility amongst the most sought-after bachelors of the ton.
Joining his schoolmate at the latter's leased estate, Darcy knows there will be no one of any consideration in the world in the backwaters of Meryton, Hertfordshire.
But amongst these rustic savages, Darcy discovers a hidden treasure: a fine-eyed young lady of kindness and wit. Miss Elizabeth, the second daughter of Longbourn, is as open and amiable as she is graceful and intelligent, caring for the needs of the estate's tenants and deflecting incivility with smiles and bon mots.
Yet notwithstanding Elizabeth's many perfections, Darcy leaves her behind, for how can he damage the Darcy heritage by marrying the penniless daughter of an obscure country squire?
But Fitzwilliam Darcy shall soon learn... not everything is as he believes.
