Could it be love? [Discovering Mr. Darcy, Chapter 10]

Welcome back to Discovering Mr. Darcy, one of my Dash of Darcy and Companions stories. As mentioned before, this one is a fun Regency rom-com with misunderstandings, misdirections, matchmaking relations, and a well-orchestrated compromise. And it is twelve chapters long (eleven regular chapters and one epilogue). In this chapter, Mr. Collins decides to forgive Elizabeth for her indiscretion – thanks in no small part to his clever wife – and Elizabeth wrestles with some feelings that are quite strange to her until her father puts a name to them: love. ------- About the book: A wrong room, a locked door, and a final opportunity to understand one another When Fitzwilliam Darcy left Netherfield, Elizabeth Bennet had yet to decipher his character and assumes she will never receive the opportunity to do so until he unexpectedly arrives in Kent where Elizabeth is visiting a friend. Upon their first meeting, Darcy seems different from the arrogant man Elizabeth remembers, and stories she hears from his cousin Anne further confuse her opinion until she overhears a conversation. Arriving for his annual visit at Rosings, Darcy is both delighted and hopeful when he learns that his aunt's parson has a guest. Having been unable to rid his thoughts and heart of the lovely Miss Elizabeth, he has determined to press his suit. However, when his cousin Richard's attentions are more readily accepted by Elizabeth than his own, Darcy fears he will have to part with the lady he loves forever. However, fate and scheming relations are not about to let this couple walk away from each other. ------- If, rather than waiting for each chapter to be released, you would like to listen to the full story read by a digital voice of your choosing right now, you can do that on ElevenReader. The quality of the voices at ElevenReader are excellent, but the book will not be a produced audiobook. Therefore, some slight baubles may happen with things like reading speed or pronunciation. You can find all my books that are on ElevenReader @ https://bit.ly/LeenieBooks-11R ------- About the Audiobook: This story is read by Christopher, an authorized voice replica (AVR) made available by the voice actor, through the Elevenlabs library. While this is a digital narration, the voice actor does receive compensation whenever his voice is used. In other words, offering AVR voices on Elevenlabs is one way that some voice actors have chosen to diversify their income. And I am so glad that Christopher has chosen this option because I quite enjoy listening to him read me my stories. I hope you enjoy his performance as much as I did while getting it ready to share. Editing of the audio to produce this performance was completed by me, Leenie Ann, using the Elevenlabs studio. ------- Join my community on Patreon at   / leeniebrown  .
