✦ Synopsis

The Netherfield Ball was a trying evening for Elizabeth Bennet. Between being forced to dance with her odious cousin, Mr Collins, and the proud and cold Mr Darcy, she is more than happy for it to end. And now that she has rejected her cousin’s offer of marriage, she no longer need concern herself with either man.

But Mr Darcy brings her news of an unexpected tragedy that changes Elizabeth’s fortunes forever. Elizabeth once again finds herself under pressure to marry her foolish cousin or her family will be ruined.

Fitzwilliam Darcy was eager to leave Hertfordshire but when Mr Bennet dies in his arms, he finds he cannot bring himself to leave the bewitching women who has captivated him. When Elizabeth confides in him about her obligation to marry her cousin, Darcy realises he cannot allow it to happen. To his surprise and Elizabeth’s, he persuades her to marry him instead. Forced to choose between two men she dislikes, Mr Darcy seems like the lesser of the two evils.

But marriage to a man she does not like or trust does not come easily to Elizabeth. And as her resentment increases, Darcy wonders if he made a mistake in his desperation to have the one woman he could ever think of as his wife.
But when they agree to an appearance of cordiality and happiness before those who might be happy to see discord between them, Elizabeth finds her pretend feelings for her husband growing deeper. And as the husband and wife become closer, two people from Darcy’s past threaten to destroy the growing happiness between them.
