Me and Mr. Darcy

He's every woman's fantasy ... After a string of nightmare relationships, Emily Albright has decided she's had it with modern-day men.

So when her best friend invites her to Mexico for a week of margaritas and men, Emily decides to book a guided tour of Jane Austen country instead. She quickly realises she won't find her dream man here. The coach tour is full of pensioners, apart from one Mr Spike Hargreaves, a foul-tempered journalist sent to write a piece on why Mr Darcy's been voted the man most women would love to date ... Until she walks into a room and findsherself face-to-face with Darcy himself. And every woman'sfantasy suddenly becomes one woman's reality.
