Katherine, uznávaná profesorka literatury na Oxfordské univerzitě, se netají svou láskou ke knihám Jane Austenové. Má však i jednu tajnou vášeň – miluje čtení tak trochu lechtivých románů z regentského období, které se k jejímu postavení moc nehodí. S jejich autorkou, Lornou Warwickovou, vede Katherine bohatou korespondenci a těší se, že se s ní konečně bude moci osobně setkat – během konference věnované Jane Austenové, na kterou je pozvaná. Tam na ni však čeká obrovské překvapení, jež si v ničem nezadá se zápletkou některého ze slavných románů. Pan Darcy v tomto vyprávění zkrátka ožívá v mnoha podobách. A na jakékoli konferenci můžete nečekaně narazit na lásku svého života.
