by Abbey North (Author)
An impromptu puppy rescue followed by a drenching rainstorm marks Lizzy's first meeting with Mr. Darcy and his sweet sister. Quickly followed by his boorish remarks at the Assembly ball, she is left with a negative opinion of the prideful man. A bout of illness strands her at Nethefield, and a high fever leads her to the wrong room. When they are discovered the next morning, everyone ignores Lizzy's insistence that nothing happened, and Darcy offers for her. It is with pure reluctance, and he clearly believes she manipulated him into being forced to marry her. With his good opinion of her seemingly lost forever, how can there be happiness in their union?While Abbey sometimes writes steamy JAFF, this story is strictly SWEET.
