Will her brother's opinion keep her from finding true love? The Bennet ladies are all eager anticipation. Netherfield has been let at last! And joy of all joys, to a single young gentleman of good fortune! To Elizabeth's delight, the new neighbor has not come alone but has brought with him a handsome friend. With any luck, if this gentleman proves to be more than just handsome, it will not only be Jane who finds a husband. Fitzwilliam Darcy has heard many times over the past weeks about the fabled beauties of Longbourn from his friend who is leasing the estate next door. However, he is not prepared for just how unexaggerated those claims are when he meets two of the ladies from Longbourn and their brother while on a ride. While Darcy and Elizabeth would like to get to know more about each other, Elizabeth's brother is not as favourably inclined to the match. He knows a secret, and, unless he can learn to trust that anyone could ever be worthy of his beloved sister, his censure may just be the thing that keeps them apart forever.
