Once our troubles had been understood and shared, we returned to our programme of mutual harassment that was our particular form of lovemaking.

MR FITZWILLIAM DARCY HAS DEDICATED HIMSELF to duty and decorum since his father’s passing, striving always to uphold a reputation as the model gentleman. But a visit to Netherfield Park awakens a restless, mischievous spark within him—an uncharacteristic craving for the carefree days of his youth.

HIS NEWFOUND ABANDON BEGINS even before he sets foot inside Longbourn when he rescues a spirited young lady from a raging stream—Miss Elizabeth Bennet, the infamous ‘lightning bolt’ of Hertfordshire. But Elizabeth’s spirited independence and outspoken nature turn Darcy’s chivalry into chaos, as his well-intentioned rescue is met with sharp retorts and icy disdain. Instead of gratitude, he receives a frosty rebuke, igniting a surprisingly prickly rivalry—and a terrible curiosity that only deepens.

AMIDST STOLEN GLANCES, PLAYFUL BARBS and daring pranks, Darcy finds himself increasingly drawn into Elizabeth’s world—where her quick wit humbles his pride and his reckless heart begins to stir. As their bond grows amidst the backdrop of social expectations and hidden secrets, the tension sparks into something far beyond mere mischief.

In this captivating tale of second chances and irresistible attraction, Darcy and Elizabeth grapple with their feelings—and their desires—to discover whether’s it’s possible to reclaim a love as fiery as the storms that first brought them together. Old Boots is a humorous regency romance with low angst and a guaranteed happily ever after for Darcy & Elizabeth.
