Drugged and betrayed in his own household, Fitzwilliam Darcy makes his escape from a forged compromise that would see him unhappily wed. Dressed as a footman, he is welcomed into one of London’s unknown neighbourhoods by a young lady who is running out of time and running for her life.
Deciding to hide in plain sight, Miss Elizabeth Bennet dodges the expectation to marry the man of her mother’s dreams. When the insolent footman she “found” refuses to leave her side until they can uncover a solution to their respective dilemmas, the two new acquaintances treat themselves to a holiday, experiencing the best of what Regency England has to offer.
Based on Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice, can two hard-headed characters with kind hearts discover the truth behind the disguise? Enjoy the banter, humour, and growing affection as Mr Darcy and Miss Elizabeth have the best day of their lives, and discover that they just might find love and romance while on a London Holiday. This book is appropriate for all ages.

“Vauxhall? You do know that the Gardens are in a state of decline, do you not?”
“Nevertheless, they still boast sights I could not see in Meryton. You have been, have you not?” “I hold a season admission, but I have not been there in five years.”
“But you carry the token in your pocket at all times?”
“It is a memento of sorts. Perhaps it is odd, I confess. I purchase one every year, but I have no desire to go.”
“That is a pity! Would not your sister relish the chance to spend the day with you in such an environ? It seems to me that giving her a day of pleasure in your company might do much for relations between the two of you.”
“Perhaps it would,” he admitted as he replaced his coin purse. “I confess, I had never thought of it.”
“Do you think she would like it? What would be her favourite part?”
“The Garden walk, most certainly, and the Cascade, I suspect. But she would take the most pleasure from the bucolic setting. She enjoys flowers, a trait she inherited from our mother. She has a quiet, contemplative nature, and I believe she finds them peaceful.”
“I had expected you to say she would enjoy the musical entertainment and the acrobatics. There are still performers, are there not? Are they really so marvellous as I have heard?”
“Yes, and she would certainly take her delight in them, but she would tire of the noise quickly. I do not mean to imply that she is a recluse, but she does not enjoy crowds of people.”
“I wonder if that is also the reason you no longer attend, sir.”
He peered cautiously down at her. “Miss Bennet, you have a disturbing capacity to sketch my character. Are you always so perspicacious?”
