Pride Before a Fall by Mary Smythe. ★★★★★
Fitzwilliam Darcy, is enamoured of Elizabeth but due to her social status, he has no intention to propose. She is not overly impressed with him!
Darcy is returning from a ride, when he sees the sisters and decides to demonstrate his prowess as a horseman.
Unfortunately, the jump goes badly and Darcy falls.
Jane goes for help, while Elizabeth rushes to assist Mr Darcy. His head injury removes his inhibitions, resulting in a declaration of love, a proposal and a passionate kiss. He then passes out.
Elizabeth wants to hush this up, as she doesn’t want to be forced to marry a man she dislikes.
Darcy recovers and is determined that, for the sake of his honour, he must make a formal offer of marriage.
What follows is a gentle courtship and a growing understanding between the couple.
A little angst towards the end adds a little spice.
Thoroughly enchanting!.
