Forced to miss the Meryton Assembly due to illness, Elizabeth Bennet's first meeting with Mr Darcy is more successful than it might have been, although she is cautious to guard her heart against too much feeling for a man she scarcely knows, and who nurses secrets of his own.

Fitzwilliam Darcy befriends Elizabeth Bennet out of necessity - and as a form of protection from certain other young ladies who have their sights set on Pemberley. He certainly does not anticipate falling in love...

To Meet Mr Darcy is the first book in Meetings and Misunderstandings, a series variation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
