This is for all my Austen lovers, let's keep the celebration of the 200th Anniversary for Pride and Prejudice going. I'd like to introduce Teri Wilson who is talking to me today about her new novel Unleashing Mr. Darcy. See why she feels we're still all in awe of Jane's novels and her characters 200 years and counting later.

Overview
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman teetering on the verge of thirty must be in want of a husband.
Not true for Manhattanite Elizabeth Scott. Instead of planning a walk down the aisle, she's crossing the pond with the only companion she needs—her darling dog, Bliss. Caring for a pack of show dogs in England seems the perfect distraction from the scandal that ruined her teaching career, and her reputation, in New York. What she doesn't count on is an unstoppable attraction to billionaire dog breeder Donovan Darcy.
