Love at First Light by Christie Capps. ★★★★★

This delightful novella begins at the Meryton Assembly, with Fitzwilliam Darcy making a disparaging remark about Elizabeth Bennet. 

In this pride and prejudice variation, Elizabeth confronts Darcy and demands satisfaction (the pistols at dawn, bring your seconds type of satisfaction).

When Darcy faces Elizabeth on the field of combat, it is not quite what he expected. 

When honour is satisfied and the duel is over, Darcy declares to his second, Colonel Fitzwilliam, that Elizabeth Bennet is the only woman for him.

From that point on Darcy courts Elizabeth, in a novel way, showing her the worthy man he is (when not putting his foot in to his mouth).

This Darcy is most definitely swoon worthy and Elizabeth is smart, witty and thoroughly captivated by him. 

A pleasing variation with romance, friendship and just a dash of angst. Perfect!
