Book Description:

The more he tries to stay away from her, the more his obsession grows...

What if...

Elizabeth Bennet was more unsuitable for Mr. Darcy than ever...
Mr. Darcy is determined to find a more suitable bride. But then he learns that Elizabeth is living in London in reduced circumstances, after her father's death robs her of her family home...

What if...

Mr. Darcy can't Help himself from see king her out...
He just wants to make sure she's alright. But once he's seen her, he feels compelled to talk to her, and from there he's unable to fight the overwhelming desire to be near her, or the ever-growing mutual attraction that is between them...

What if...

Mr. Darcy's intentions were shockingly dishonorable...

My Review:
Abigail Reynolds has created a masterful period novel. The way she weaves romance, tradition, and wit is exciting and fresh.

Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth are created here in a way that makes them come to life and live beyond the written page.

Austen fans will enjoy the author's unique interpretation of an old love story.
