Elizabeth Bennet Says Yes to Mr. Darcy (Around Jane Austen #2)

What if Elizabeth Bennet had accepted Mr. Darcy’s first marriage proposal?

A debt of five thousand pounds threatens the Bennet family’s future.

If her father cannot find a solution quickly, Elizabeth knows that her mother and sisters could lose the fragile security that Longbourn still offers them. When Mr.

Darcy declares his love at Hunsford and asks her to become his wife, she should refuse him.

His declaration is as passionate as it is wounding, and Elizabeth has forgotten neither his pride nor the contempt he has always shown toward her family.

Yet a single word could secure her family’s safety. So Elizabeth says yes. She does not pretend to love Darcy. She only promises to try to know him better and to give this unexpected union a chance.

As their confrontations gradually give way to an unsettling attraction, Elizabeth begins to discover behind his reserve a man very different from the one she thought she judged so rightly.

But the day after their engagement, a revelation changes everything. Mr. Darcy is responsible for separating Jane and Mr. Bingley. Can Elizabeth marry the man who broke her sister’s heart?

A sensual variation of Pride and Prejudice, told from the perspectives of Elizabeth and Darcy, where a marriage of necessity might well become a story of desire and love. For adult readers.
