Christmas in Gracechurch Street

He thought he was escaping temptation not placing himself directly in her path. Feeling himself drawn to the enchanting Miss Elizabeth Bennet, Fitzwilliam Darcy plans an escape from Netherfield. It isn't until his arrangements are all in place that he discovers Elizabeth has made an escape of her own and is now right where he doesn't want her to be. When Darcy's displeased friend finds him in town rather than at Netherfield, Darcy is forced to attend a dinner in Gracechurch Street, the very place where Elizabeth is staying. For her part, Elizabeth is just as unhappy to be thrust into company with Darcy as he is with her -- and for the same reason. She likes him, but she knows she has very little hope of ever attracting a suitor such as Mr. Darcy when he only considers her tolerable. However, when Darcy accepts an invitation to partake in the festivities of Christmas in Gracechurch Street and when Elizabeth's sister forms a friendship with Darcy's sister, Elizabeth begins to hope her feelings of admiration might be returned, while Darcy finds keeping duty ahead of pleasure to be excessively difficult. Christmas in Gracechurch Street is the second installment in Leenie Brown's Sweet Possibilities collection of Darcy and Elizabeth variations. If you like Hallmark-style Christmas romances set in the Regency era, then you'll enjoy this story where duty and love collide. So, settle into your favourite reading spot, grab your copy of Christmas in Gracechurch Street, and indulge in the sweet romantic possibility of an escape plan gone wrong turning into something that is oh so right.
