A Regency tale inspired by Jane Austen's timeless classic Pride and Prejudice. Elizabeth Bennet considers the handsome new vicar at Hunsford parsonage to be everything Fitzwilliam Darcy is not. The Reverend Francis Martel is warm, accessible, and has no difficulty showing his feelings for her. Within weeks of rejecting Darcy's offer, Elizabeth finds herself swept up in a tumult of emotions for the vicar. He shares her wit, her caring for others, and the simple life-so she accepts the vicar's proposal. Will Darcy recover from his injured ego in time to intervene in their marriage? And how will he separate the couple-only days before their wedding? Barbara Silkstone is the author of the best selling Mister Darcy series of comedic mysteries. The Gallant Vicar is her first Regency novel featuring Darcy and Elizabeth. It is not intended to be a comedy, but quirky things do occur.
