Bella Darcy, the Runaway Heiress

As the eldest daughter of Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy, Bella Darcy is finished with estate books and a future already decided for her.

She leaves Pemberley for Cornwall to find the relative she believes may understand her, her rebellious Aunt Lydia, now widowed and living near Falmouth on terms far removed from her family's old expectations.

Bella arrives looking for freedom and adventure, only to meet George Harwood, a retired naval commander who has no wish to encourage a runaway heiress or her romantic notions.

His efforts to keep her out of trouble grow more complicated when suspicious activity along the Cornish coast draws them together.

Their next-generation love story is a swoony, funny, low-angst, closed-door historical romance, with Elizabeth and Darcy still devoted to each other and other cherished figures from Pride and Prejudice close at hand.
