For nearly 200 years Jane Austen has fascinated women with her tale of manners, class, and romance. Mr. Darcy will forever be the epitome of the proud, romantic hero; Elizabeth Bennet, the intelligent, strong-willed heroine with high principles. Searching for Mr. Darcy is a playful romance which proves even today a real Mr. Darcy can be found.
MEGAN MILLS, 28, is a pretty, single, high-spirited, English teacher who takes a summer job as a secretary to a well-known Scottish writer. Meg is frequently rereading Jane Austen books or giving them to others to read. She is a dreamer, an idealist, and a true romantic believing she can only give herself to a man if she loves him. Few have met her qualifications.
DUNCAN MAC GRAE, (Scotty) 42, writes thrillers, born in the Scottish Highlands and educated at Cambridge, is divorced with a 21 year old daughter. He is handsome, fiery, imaginative, proud and prickly. He has a strong taste for whisky. Scotty is never without a woman unless he is writing a book.
MICHAEL WINSTON DARCY, 39, is British, educated at Oxford, single, reserved, and wealthy. Though not handsome he dresses impeccably, speaks 5 languages, is generous to a fault, the perfect gentleman. A friend of Scotty’s since prep school, Michael has idolized him for befriending and rescuing him from bullies. Megan meets Michael accidently in Italy.
As the story meanders from Manhattan to London, romps through Scotland, melts in Sienna and finally twists and turns in Scotland, Meg falls in love with both men. However, she loses each; one through a selfless act of love and one through a sudden death. When she goes into a tailspin, the love of Meg’s life steps forward to care for her in her darkest hour and reveals his unwavering love, just as the proud, romantic hero, Fitzwilliam Darcy, would have done 200 years earlier.
With Pride and Prejudice references woven in and out of the storyline, Searching for Mr. Darcy is a playful romance that will warm your heart.
Chapter 19, Sienna:
"Look, you devil,” she began as soon as Michael was out of range, “what the hell are you doing here?”
“Oooh, I love it when your green eyes are lit with fire.” He laughed. “Nice piece of work getting him to buy you the necklace. To match your eyes, I suppose?” He chuckled again.
“He surprised me with it, I didn’t ask for it, you fool. Why aren’t you in France?”
“I told you, I came to see you and your Mr. Darcy.” His eyes were twinkling.
“Scotty, not a word out of you about last summer you understand?” she snapped.
“You mean about our being lovers, darling?”
“Exactly,” Meg hissed, “and don’t call me darling.”
Duncan Mac Grae looked at her with a bemused expression. “I’m not sure you’re right for him, Mills.”
“Oh, have you suddenly become an expert on relationships? Humph… I suppose you have enough experience. ”
“How is he in bed?” he said as he drank his whisky.
Meg glared at him and said through clenched teeth, “That’s just what I’d expect from you. I suppose that’s all that ever governs your affairs. Maybe I should ask you how Victoria Baker is in bed.”
He drained his drink, smiled, and said, “She’s quite good in fact. But I am getting a wee bit old for the…”
“Please spare me the details,” Meg moaned putting her hand up as a gesture to stop him. “Now behave. Michael’s coming back.
