Can a marriage of convenience between Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet kindle true love, or will the threats surrounding them turn their vows into a perilous gamble?
When Mr. Darcy is unexpectedly named Marquess of Dorset, he’s thrust into society’s loftiest circles, catching the eye of every eligible young lady. Yet, his heart remains fixed on one: Elizabeth Bennet, even if she did recently refuse his hand, leaving him heartbroken.
Resolved to live as a bachelor, Darcy focuses on his duties in the House of Lords, fending off family insistence on marriage. But when he meets Elizabeth again, he realizes his feelings have not faded. Noting a shift in her manner, he risks one last proposal—with a twist.
Darcy requires a wife to appease society’s demands; Elizabeth needs a powerful husband to save her family. Reluctantly, she accepts, and Darcy hopes she may see him for who he truly is, not the man she once despised.
But as they draw close, a series of perilous events emerge threatening not only their fragile happiness but their very lives. Now, Darcy must secure not only her heart but their survival.
