Me and Mr Darcy - Alexandra Potter

From Alexandra Potter, author of the bestselling Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up, dreams come true in Me and Mr Darcy - a fun, feel-good fairy tale about life, love and dating literature's most eligible bachelor!

Every girl is looking for her Mr Darcy. Imagine if you found the real one.

After a string of nightmare relationships, Emily's had it with modern-day men. She'd rather pour herself a glass of wine and curl up with Pride and Prejudice and her beloved Mr Darcy. So what if he's a fictional hero?

Faced with spending New Year's at yet another singles party, she books herself on a coach tour of Jane Austen country, but quickly realises she won't find her dream man here - just a coach full of pensioners and one particularly aggravating (if handsome) journalist, Spike.

That's until she enters a room and finds herself face-to-face with none other than Darcy himself. The actual, real Mr Darcy. From the book. And, suddenly, every woman's fantasy becomes one woman's reality . . .
