About this audiobook

Mr Darcy is NOT thinking about Elizabeth. He is only trying to clear his head with a punishing ride through the countryside. But fate (and a startled pheasant) intervenes, leaving him unconscious in a lane just a quarter of a mile from Longbourn's gate. When he awakens in an unfamiliar room with rose-covered wallpaper, he has cracked ribs, a pounding headache, and, most conveniently, a fuzzy memory of his own proud, disagreeable behaviour. The man who infamously called Elizabeth Bennet "tolerable" is gone. In his place is a charming, amiable houseguest who calls her "Lizzy", confesses he loves her, and seems determined to protect her from the newly arrived Mr. Collins. Elizabeth doesn't know what to make of this new Mr. Darcy. As she nurses him back to health, she finds herself drawn to the man she thought she despised. But secrets can't stay hidden forever. What will happen when Mr. Darcy finally "remembers" himself? Can a love built on a convenient fib survive the truth?
