Mr. Darcy Broke My Heart

A MISSING MANUSCRIPT... A SECRET SOCIETY SWORN TO PROTECT JANE AUSTEN'S LEGACY... ONE WOMAN WHO HAS THE CHANCE TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH ABOUT A CERTAIN FITZWILLIAM DARCY...

Claire Prescott doesn't understand Mr. Darcy's appeal. She's been comfortably dating Neil, a nice—if a bit negligent—sports fanatic. But when she agrees to stand in for her sister at a Jane Austen seminar in Oxford, England, she finds herself holding a lost version of Pride, and Prejudice. Scholars thought Austen's original manuscript was destroyed centuries ago, but as Claire reads the beloved author's first draft, she discovers that Austen didn't always have Darcy in mind for Lizzie Bennet.

And when a tall, dark, and dashing stranger crosses Claire's path, will she suddenly discover her inner Lizzie Bennet? Neil's unexpected arrival in Oxford complicates Claire's journey to finding her true romantic lead, and she discovers that finding the right hero can be more difficult than sheer imagined.
