Swell My Song by Lyndsay Constable. ★★★★☆

Thomas Bennet believes that his wife has the power of a Siren! For why else would the studious, erudite man have married the feather-brained Fanny Gardner?

He insists that his daughters must never sing before male company or servants, for infatuation might lead to compromise. 

Elizabeth Bennet doesn't believe a word of it but reluctantly agrees to do her best to obey her father.

For five years she keeps her word, until she is forced to sing at the insistence of the demanding Lady Catherine de Bourgh.  

The charming Colonel Fitzwilliam seems immune to her charms, while Fitzwilliam Darcy positively despises her. What could possibly go wrong?

When Darcy visits the Hunsford Parsonage to propose, Elizabeth stops him and tries to convince him that he has been bewitched. Darcy pleads for the chance to court Elizabeth and the ensuing interactions are appealing and fun. 

A little obstacle on the way provides an appropriate seasoning of angst.
