Darcy and Elizabeth, A Most Unlikely
Couple
With
his persuasive tongue, Andrew Darcy is a very charismatic scoundrel. Having
dealt for years with the scandals created by this wayward cousin, Fitzwilliam
Darcy has grown weary. Thus, when yet another gentleman confronts Darcy about
Andrew’s blatant betrayal of his daughter, Darcy decides he has had enough.
He
sets out for Meryton to find Andrew, but no sooner has Andrew left for
Manchester to offer for the unfortunate lady, than Meryton is abuzz with a new
scandal involving Andrew and a local woman.
Feeling
obligated to offer his assistance to the father, Darcy has no idea that
accompanying Bingley to Longbourn will change his life forever. For the lady
whose reputation is now at stake, Elizabeth Bennet, is the very reason he fled
Meryton only weeks before.

carriage and they started towards the door, Bingley cautioned, “Please try not
to upset him. Just remember that he has had a great shock and has a lot of
things on his mind.”
William stopped in his
tracks. “Bingley, do you think me bereft of good manners?”
“No, not at all! Just try
not to appear superior! I know that you do not think yourself superior, but
those who are not acquainted with you have no way of knowing. From your
manner—”
William broke in. “Thank
you for the vote of confidence.”
