When I first met Will Darcy at a charity gala, he started out as the hot guy who ran into me as I came out of the ladies' room; however, by the end of the evening, he was certainly not my Prince Charming! For that matter, I doubt he could be considered anyone's ideal man. My friend Char calls him a "tosser," but I have a few more interesting names for him, all NSFW of course. The problem is that since the gala, I keep having to spend time with him. For one thing, he's the older brother of Gigi, who comes into my bakery and café multiple times a week. He's also the CEO of Pemberley Books, who desperately wants to take over the bookstore I recently inherited from my uncle-not that I'm going to let that happen! What can I say? I'd be happier if I could just avoid the man altogether! She introduced herself as "Liz," but how was I supposed to know "Liz" was actually Elizabeth Bennet, the new owner of Novel Books? I've wanted to buy that bookstore since I became head of my father's company, but I never realized the name I'd only ever seen on paper was, in reality, this ebony-haired beauty. Now, I can't stop thinking about her. I ordered a cake from Liz's bakery for Gigi's party, and since, I can't seem to stay away from the woman. Liz drives me absolutely crazy, but I can't get involved with her, can I? She and my sister get along like gangbusters, and I've never met anyone who intrigues me like Liz does, but is that enough? If I were to take a chance on her, I'd also have to give up on acquiring Novel Books. I just need to come up with the answer to one question: Is Elizabeth Bennet worth it?
