A Burgundy Banyan

A torn gown. A burgundy banyan. And a gentleman who flees the county rather than face his feelings.Miss Elizabeth Bennet never imagined her evening would involve being rescued from decorative ivy by Mr Darcy-let alone spending an hour in his chambers, wearing his banyan, whilst his valet mends her gown. But as the evening progresses, she is left thoroughly befuddled and entangled in more than just shrubbery.Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy has spent months convincing himself he dislikes Miss Elizabeth Bennet. So why, after one disastrously intimate evening, does he flee to London like a man pursued by his own conscience? And why, once there, does he proceed to write her letters so pedantic, so passionate, and so excessive that even his valet despairs?What follows is a courtship conducted in ink. Milton is debated, Satan’s tragic flaws are contested, and every postscript hides more than it reveals. But can a romance built on literary warfare and burgundy silk survive the return to Hertfordshire? Or will Mr Darcy’s legendary pride, and Elizabeth’s legendary stubbornness, doom them to a future of unrequited footnotes?A Burgundy Banyan is a clean, laugh-out-loud Pride and Prejudice romantic comedy variation full of sharp wit, social blunders, no angst, no conflict, and a sweet happily ever after.Perfect for readers who enjoy:· Enemies-to-lovers Regency romance· Witty banter & slow-burn tension· Humorous Pride & Prejudice variations· Strong-willed heroines & brooding heroes who actually grovel· Clean emotional chemistry
