To Dance With Darcy - Paperback

Fitzwilliam gives his opinion of Meryton and its Assembly ball to Bingley before having a chance to thoroughly study the attendees. A woman with fine eyes catches his attention, but she rebuffs his invitation to dance. Miss Elizabeth Bennet quotes his own thoughtless words back to him and seems to find amusement in causing him discomfort as she ensures all in attendance know his thoughts. He should try to steer clear of her, but when she's at Netherfield to care for her sister, they unexpectedly find common ground. His opinion of her changes, and hers seems to soften. When Mr. Wickham targets her, he feels compelled to protect her, unaware of another conspiring against them, and that their biggest obstacle will be Fitzwilliam himself.

This takes place during the period of the Bingleys and Darcy visiting Netherfield before diverging near the timeline of the Netherfield ball. While Abbey sometimes writes sensual JAFF, this is strictly SWEET.
