About this listen
His character shaped by loss and guilt, Darcy will never permit a woman to possess his heart.
But Miss Elizabeth Bennet — from just the sort of society he despises — and who despises him in return, fills his thoughts.
As a moth to the flame, he cannot stay away.
Elizabeth Bennet scorns the proud and arrogant Mr. Darcy. Admittedly, he is handsome; but like all of his kind, he thinks females below him; merely helpless creatures needing protection from themselves and all around them.
Family duty and obligation force them closer together. Neither can escape without betraying those close to them.
Will Darcy’s heart, and Elizabeth Bennet’s pride, survive?
As a Moth to the Flame is a sweet and clean Regency romance novel of 97,000 words.

WHEN MR. FITZWILLIAM DARCY RETURNS to Hertfordshire a year after last seeing Elizabeth Bennet, he is surprised to find that she has taken up careering around the countryside in a brand new curricle. Even more surprising is the manner in which their verbal sparring turns to good humor, banter, and flirtation. So much so that her neighbors begin to wonder if their attachment is more than just friendly.

Mr. Darcy is unmarriageable. Every time he shows any interest in a lady, be it casual or serious, the lady disappears or has disaster befall her. Soon, society spreads gossip that he is cursed, and mamas and daughters alike shun his company.

In Meryton, a humbled Mr. Darcy finds himself drawn to a local beauty. Ever cautious that the villain behind his misfortune is watching, he takes great pains to keep his courtship a secret.
