Synopsis

Miss Elizabeth Bennet befriends Miss Anne de Bourgh, a wealthy heiress. Elizabeth has no fortune, no connections—nothing to recommend her except her wit and charm and her good nature. She agrees to aid Anne in her quest to secure a marriage proposal from her haughty, aristocratic cousin, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy.How could Elizabeth know the gentleman has his heart set upon another? Darcy barely acknowledges his cousin's existence. He knows what his family expects of him, but he never suspected that Anne harbored those foolish hopes. He only has eyes for Elizabeth; the charming and witty young woman he mistakenly believes is expecting an offer of marriage.Truth be told, Elizabeth does not even like the proud man—at least not in the beginning. Will Elizabeth deny her feelings for the sake of a friend, or will she follow her heart?
What listeners have said about Love Will Grow"Dixon's portrayals of Darcy and Elizabeth are comforting and always pleasant. She is repeatedly able to capture the thrill of Pride and Prejudice, while changing the plot ever so slightly each time.""This is a very good book for a summer afternoon, not too long and not too short. It checks off all the wonderful boxes a variation of Pride and Prejudice should. I very much enjoyed and recommend it.""Pearl Hewitt’s narration brought the characters to life ... Although I knew the plot from having reread the novel several times, I was swept up in the tale told by the voices of the characters.""Pearl Hewitt did an excellent job with the narration. She has a pleasant speaking voice that immersed me in the narration."
