No Improper Pride by Amy D’Orazio The story is set in London after the Hunsford proposal. Darcy has got over his anger at being refused by Elizabeth Bennet. However, he has become bereft and regretful.  His cousin, the inimitable Viscount Saye, has no patience and little sympathy with Darcy. He correctly points out that in leaving Kent, after handing his letter to Elizabeth, Darcy denied her the right of reply.  He drags Darcy out for a walk in Hyde Park.  By coincidence, Elizabeth and her sister Jane are walking with their aunt Gardner and cousins.  After introductions, Darcy is floundering, so Saye takes charge, charming the ladies.  Could this be another chance for Darcy? Will Saye be unbearably outrageous and what will Florizel do? Darcy, Elizabeth and Saye in the hands of Amy D’Orazio! How could it be anything but glorious?

Loved it! After the drama and anguish of the Hunsford proposal, Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy retreat to London.  He to his Mayfair townhouse to wallow in misery and to acknowledge to himself, that he never deserved her love. Elizabeth joins her sister in Cheapside, with Aunt and Uncle Gardiner. She spends her time reflecting on her misjudgement of Darcy’s character. During one of her regular walks, she meets a gentleman who recognises her, as family! Elizabeth discovers she is not who she thought she was. In great distress at these revelations, she runs from the Gardiner house into the street, directly into the path of a horse. Fortunately, the rider is Darcy, who stops and aids her in her distress. So the couple meet again. This is a great story with love, angst, joy and forgiveness. I love this Darcy. He is so steadfast and kind. I like how he opens up to Elizabeth.
