Elizabeth & Darcy: First Impressions
Lisa Long
A single slight. A thousand assumptions. And a love that refuses to be dismissed.
In the quiet countryside of Hertfordshire, society is set astir by the arrival of the charming Mr. Bingley and his proud, formidable friend, Mr. Darcy. For Elizabeth Bennet, the rules of polite company are simple: keep your wit sharp, your dignity intact, and your heart well guarded. So when Mr. Darcy’s first impression of her is delivered with cold disdain, Elizabeth resolves to think of him no more than he deserves.
But as invitations multiply and paths cross again and again, Elizabeth begins to see unsettling contradictions behind Darcy’s reserve. His silences are not always contempt. His attention is not always unwanted. And the truths whispered by a handsome officer named Mr. Wickham fit a little too neatly with what everyone already believes about Darcy.
When a shocking proposal forces Elizabeth to speak every grievance she has held close, the consequences ripple through every relationship she cherishes. A single letter then threatens to overturn everything she thought she knew, not only about Mr. Darcy, but about her own judgment.
Set in a world where reputation is fragile and a misstep can ruin a family, Elizabeth & Darcy: First Impressions is a swooning, tension-filled Pride and Prejudice variation about pride as armor, first impressions as traps, and the quiet courage it takes to see clearly at last.
Perfect for readers who love:
Pride and Prejudice variations
Slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance
