Handsome Men are Habit Forming

If this is what it is to be in love, I no longer wonder at the dreadful poetry that emanates from a lovesick heart

FITZWILLIAM DARCY HAS his hands full. His younger sister, Georgiana, is at that trying age, keeping secrets and testing his authority. Wanting to keep an eye on her after the events at Ramsgate, Darcy takes her along to visit his friend Charles Bingley at Netherfield Park in Hertfordshire. Alas, his desire for harmony is disrupted by too many unexpected visitors and too many moments spent in company with the intriguing Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

AS DARCY'S HEART IS drawn to the lovely lady from Longbourn, Georgiana avidly encourages their mutual interest-but is she sincere in promoting her brother's happiness or merely hoping to distract him from her own mischief? The arrival in Meryton of an unrepentant George Wickham, eagerly greeted by Georgiana, only deepens Darcy's concern.

WITH SO MANY WORRIES to occupy him, Elizabeth Bennet could be the friend and confidante Darcy sorely needs-and much more. Will she return his love, or will their families' interference and competing interests get in the way? And who is the mysterious couple meeting secretly and planning their future together?

Handsome Men are Habit Forming is a friends-to-lovers romance that is a variation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
