Pride and Prejudice (Puffin in Bloom) by Jane Austen, Anna BondThough her sisters are keen on finding men to marry, Elizabeth Bennet would rather wait for someone she loves certainly not someone like Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, whom she finds to be smug and judgmental, in contrast to the charming George Wickham. But soon Elizabeth learns that her first impressions may not have been correct, and the quiet, genteel Mr. Darcy might be her true love after all.

Despite his better judgment

they haven’t been able to set aside their feud for anything

only to find herself falling in love

Working a dead-end job

Prince Mendax has never felt anything but loathing until his eyes met hers: this vile human assassin's

She’s sarcastic

Even if it means admitting that love at first sight isn’t a fairy tale

As secrets begin to emerge

They couldn't be more different in personality

never taking another to his bed—until a smoldering encounter with his enemy

threats lurk

She’s the exact type of person I was holding out for
