💕🦚💙 It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of many romance novels, must be in want of a book boyfriend . . . 💕🦚''''

'Fans of Pride and Prejudice will adore this'
INDIA HOLTON, USA Today bestselling author

'Most Ardently Yours is the book equivalent of a warm mug of tea, a soft blanket and a purring cat on your lap (even if he's named after one of literature's greatest cads)' AMY COOMBE, Sunday Times bestselling author of Stay for a Spell

Zoe Knight has sworn off men for good . . . at least the ones in real life. Once a believer in the 'happily ever after', she now curbs her loneliness with the help of her favorite book boyfriends - and there's no better man than Mr. Darcy.

So, when she comes head-to-head with the annoyingly attractive bookseller Nick, who refuses to sell romance novels, she decides to liberate him of an abandoned, dusty copy of Pride and Prejudice.

But this is no ordinary book. After reading from the pages, Zoe accidentally summons Mr. Darcy to the real world. Now, she's face-to-face with the man she's loved forever, and he's everything she dreamed he would be. Handsome? Check. Brooding? Check. But if he's here in all his Regency perfection, what will happen to the literary world he came from?

With Nick - the last man she could ever be prevailed upon to work with - urging her to send Darcy back to his own story, Zoe will have to decide what she really wants from a happy ending, before it's too late.

Perfect for fans of Kirsty Greenwood and Ashley Poston, Most Ardently Yours is a delightfully bookish and swoony romance with a lightly speculative flair from the USA Today bestselling author Freya Sampson that brings to life one of Jane Austen's most universally beloved love interests.

'Charming, witty, and an absolute delight'
SOPHIE COUSENS, New York Times bestselling author of Is She Really Going Out with Him?

'A magical cross between Kate & Leopold and Notting Hill and I loved it so so much!' LYNN PAINTER, NYT bestselling author of Better Than the Movies
