Courting Elizabeth (Around Jane Austen #3)

Elizabeth Bennet never imagined marrying a man she didn’t love. Yet when Fitzwilliam Darcy proposes to her at Hunsford, she doesn’t refuse him. His pride exasperates her.

His interference in Jane and Bingley’s relationship remains unforgivable. But beneath his arrogant manner, Elizabeth senses a man she may have judged too quickly.

A man capable of protecting her family, offering her a future… and awakening a desire she can no longer deny. Darcy has no doubt he is loved.

Until their wedding day, when an overheard conversation reveals the truth: Elizabeth agreed to become his wife without giving him her heart.

Hurt but determined never to demand a love that isn’t freely given, Darcy makes a decision. He will court his wife.

He will open the doors of Pemberley to her, reveal the man behind the name, and prove to her that their marriage can become far more than a reasonable arrangement.

But can he win the heart of a woman as proud as Elizabeth without trying to control it?

Between restrained desire, separate bedrooms, secrets, confrontations, and tender discoveries, Elizabeth and Darcy must learn that love cannot be assumed, imposed, or bought. It must be chosen.

A sensual and romantic variation on Pride and Prejudice in which Darcy falls in love first… but must still earn being loved in return.
