Fitzwilliam Darcy is beyond tired of being hunted for his fortune.
Elizabeth Bennet wants to marry only for love, while her mother is determined that she shall make a match for security.

When Elizabeth and Darcy meet, trying to blend into the background, at the Meryton assembly, they hatch the perfect scheme. Pretend to be courting each other, meaning they will be left alone, then simply end the courtship when Darcy leaves Hertfordshire.

Will their strategy work or will there be unintended consequences?

I enjoyed this romp, but one has to ignore some hefty breaches of Regency propriety. Elizabeth writing to Darcy, meeting him alone and traveling in his carriage unchaperoned, and broken engagements, with little consequence for both parties.

If you are happy to ignore the above, the developing friendship between Darcy and Elizabeth is lovely.
