When do you let your heart rule your head?
When it comes to love, Anna Elliot is stuck in the past. No one can compare to Rick Wentworth, the man she gave up ten years ago at the insistence of her disapproving family. What if she's missed her only chance for real happiness?
Since Anna broke his heart, Rick has moved on – or so he thinks. Out in Australia, he's worked hard to build a successful career – and a solid wall around his feelings.
The words 'forgive and forget' aren't in Rick's vocabulary. The word 'regret' is definitely in Anna's. So, when they meet again on his book tour of England, it's an opportunity for closure.
But memories intrude – the pure sensuality of what they once shared, the pain of parting ... And she has to deal with another man from her past, while his celebrity status makes him the focus of unwanted attention.
With Anna's image-obsessed family still ready to interfere and Rick poised to return to Australia, can she persuade him to risk his heart again?
This contemporary re-telling of Jane Austen's last completed novel is the second book in Juliet Archer's Darcy & Friends series, offering fresh insights into the hearts and minds of Austen's irresistible heroes.
