One insult. One glance. One love story neither of them saw coming. Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy is a man of logic, property, and a very persistent migraine. When he arrives at the Meryton assembly, he intends to do nothing more than nurse his headache and survive the high frequency of a local matriarch's voice. But the universe has other plans. With the word "tolerable" still fresh on his lips, lightning strikes. In a single, heart-stopping second, Miss Elizabeth Bennet goes from an unremarkable stranger to the lady who has perforated his soul. Mr Darcy is irrevocably, hopelessly in love, and he has just publicly insulted the only woman he will ever want to marry. Miss Elizabeth is a woman of wit and discernment who is not easily swayed by ten thousand a year. She is determined to investigate the real man behind the pride, even if it means facing down a tyrannical aunt, a horse with more charm than its master, and her mother’s relentless pursue for the best wedding china. Is Mr Darcy truly the arrogant gentleman she first thought, or is there more to him than meets the eye?
