I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words.
I was in love before I knew it.

Witty, headstrong Elizabeth Bennet has no desire for a marriage of convenience. And when she meets the handsome, wealthy Mr. Darcy, her opinion of him is quickly set: he is aloof, selfish, and proud--the last man in the world she would ever marry. Until their paths cross again, and again, and the pair begins to realize that first impressions can be flawed . . .

But as Elizabeth and Darcy become entangled in a dance through the strict hierarchies of society, will there be space for their love to bloom?

Bestselling author Laura Wood brings Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy's romance to life once more in a stunning and accessible retelling of Austen's beloved classic.
