Love Drunk for Mr Darcy

One night trapped in Lady Catherine’s wine cellar with Mr Darcy and nothing to do but drink wine and flirt outrageously. What could possibly go wrong?

Quite a lot, as it turns out. Elizabeth Bennet has already refused Mr Darcy once, and after his disastrous proposal at Hunsford she is perfectly happy to keep avoiding him. But when the two of them find themselves accidentally locked in the Rosings’ wine cellar, avoidance is no longer an option.
Morning brings a pounding head and the horrifying discovery that Elizabeth has spent the night in Mr Darcy’s arms. Worse still, she is beginning to remember what happened.

Especially the kissing, which only confirms Darcy’s belief that there is now one honourable course left to them. They must marry, and with all haste.
Elizabeth knows he wants her. But this is not the marriage she imagined and she isn’t sure how to navigate a rushed wedding, her annoyance at Darcy, and her overwhelming attraction to this overbearing man.

So when they arrive at Pemberley as husband and wife, they decide to begin again as friends.
For Darcy, who is still hopelessly in love with Elizabeth, this proves almost unbearable. For Elizabeth, friendship with her new husband is becoming increasingly difficult too. Darcy seems determined to give her all the space she asked for, just as she is beginning to wish he would come closer, much closer.

Before long, Elizabeth begins to wonder whether she made a terrible mistake. Not in marrying Mr Darcy, but in asking him to be her friend.

Love Drunk for Mr Darcy is a 50,000-word closed-door Pride and Prejudice variation with forced proximity, a marriage of convenience and plenty of intense yearning. All wrapped up with a guaranteed happily ever after (HEA).
