Description

He's every woman's fantasy.

After a string of nightmare relationships, Emily Albright has decided she's had it with modern-day men. She'd rather pour herself a glass of wine, curl up with Pride and Prejudice and step into a time where men were dashing, devoted and honourable, strode across fields in breeches, their damp shirts clinging to their chests...

So when her best friend invites her to Mexico for a week of margaritas and men, Emily decides to book a guided tour of Jane Austen country instead.

But she quickly realises she won't find her dream man here. The coach tour is full of pensioners, apart from one Mr Spike Hargreaves, a foul-tempered journalist sent to write a piece on why Mr Darcy's been voted the man most women would love to date.

Until she walks into a room and finds herself face-to-face with Darcy himself. And every woman's fantasy suddenly becomes one woman's reality. . .

Reviews

'A winning formula of chaotic heroine meeting eccentric hero, and, after misunderstandings, finding love. Sharply written, pacey and funny...pure self-indulgence' -- The Times on BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR 'Feel-good fiction full of unexpected twists and turns' -- OK! 'Nobody does it quite like Alexandra Potter' -- Daily Mirror 'A touching, funny love-story' -- Company 'Always perceptive, often funny, never dull' -- Heat
