❝Darcy had never been so bewitched by any woman❞

NEW RELEASE!

“Darcy had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by her.”

Jane Austen

Bewitched, indeed. This famous Jane Austen quote is the inspiration for my new release, A Tender Moment.

In this lighthearted short story, Darcy has a bad case of foot-in-mouth disease, especially around Miss Elizabeth Bennet, causing him to be the last man in the world she wishes to know.

~ Excerpts ~

The promise of seeing her dearest sister’s delight in being once again in Mr. Bingley’s company was enough to cause Elizabeth to anticipate the evening with pleasure. How Elizabeth’s heart sang merely recalling her sister’s praise of the young man and their mutual agreement that he was indeed everything a gentleman ought to be.

If only I might say the same of his friend, Mr. Darcy. Just as she did whenever she allowed her thoughts to wander from her sister’s future felicity to the disagreeable Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth silently chastised herself. To say that the man vexed her at every turn was putting it mildly. Rarely had he spoken a few words to her since first meeting her when he failed to coat his sentiments with condescension and thinly disguised disdain. Why does he even bother speaking with me at all if he only means to be unpleasant and dismissive?

Miss Elizabeth Bennet

When will I ever learn? It is better to say nothing at all than to say something that puts me further at odds with her or to utter something idiotic just for the sake of conversation. I’ve grown quite accustomed to fending off women, but I have no wish to do that with her. She is quite unlike any woman I’ve ever known.
