A torn gown. A ruined first impression. And a gentleman of ten thousand a year who has decided the only logical solution is to travel exclusively in reverse.
Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley has no desire to be present at the Meryton assembly. He does not enjoy. He endures. And he ends up not only tearing a lady's vanity by calling her tolerable within her earshot, but also tearing said lady's gown. A metaphorical and literal mishap, indeed.
Miss Elizabeth Bennet is having a pleasant time at the Meryton assembly with her family and friends, right up until an aloof and insufferable gentleman insults her and attacks her gown with his heavy Hessians.
Circumstances bring them together at Netherfield, where Mr Darcy discovers-to his utter befuddlement-that the only side of his person Miss Elizabeth admires is his backside. He decides to take advantage of it as best as he can.
Will Mr Darcy ever persuade Elizabeth that his front side is worth her admiration, or will he end up walking to his grave in reverse?
A Torn Hem at Meryton is a clean, laugh-out-loud Pride and Prejudice romantic comedy variation full of sharp wit, social blunders, no angst, no conflict, and an unforgettable happily ever after.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
✔ Enemies-to-lovers Regency romance
✔ Witty banter & slow-burn tension
✔ Humorous Pride & Prejudice variations
✔ Strong-willed heroines & brooding heroes who actually grovel
✔ Clean emotional chemistry
