    Summary

    It began, as so many dreadful things do, at a party.

    Elizabeth Bennet’s first impression of Fitzwilliam Darcy is… unfavourable. Her second and third impressions are hardly any better. He’s aloof and haughty and casually insulting, yet she keeps catching glimpses of something deeper in his character. Which is the only possible explanation for why she can't seem to get him out of her head.

    Free-spirited artist Elizabeth is everything Darcy disapproves of, yet he finds himself captivated by her... and quite desperately attracted. Try as he might he can't stop himself from wanting her, or being drawn back again and again as she works on a mural for his new offices. He can't seem to stay away from her, or stay out of his own way in his attempts to connect with her.

    When the consequences of Darcy’s actions bring the sexual tension between himself and Elizabeth to a head they both think that will be the end of it. Yet circumstances and their own desires keep bringing them together and slowly, gradually, they learn to see beyond those first impressions and forge an understanding—a new, tender understanding that comes just at the moment when Elizabeth’s family finds itself facing a terrible crisis.

    Summary

    Jack follows Claire through the crowd of faceless strangers. She links her arm through his, pulling him from stand to stand. Although she wins a few games, she loses the ring toss. Naturally, everyone loses the ring toss, it’s a rigged game.

    “You want to know how to win this one?” Jack grins, handing an extra dollar to the vendor.

    Claire rolls her eyes. “Enlighten me.”
