Faced with spending New Year's at yet another singles party, she books herself on a coach tour of Jane Austen country, but quickly realises she won't find her dream man here - just a coach full of pensioners and one particularly aggravating (if handsome) journalist, Spike. That's until she enters a room and finds herself face-to-face with none other than Darcy himself. And every woman's fantasy suddenly becomes one woman's reality. . .
