Elizabeth Bennet had been so lonely since Papa died. That was why her conversations with Mr. Darcy delighted her so much. And she loved how he doted on his sweet daughter. It would be easy to fall in love with him. She must not. Mr. Darcy was also an arrogant man who viewed himself as better than the neighborhood. He frequently declared that he would never marry again.

Elizabeth Bennet never imagined shed become the wife of the proud and wealthy Mr. Darcy after a scandalous encounter at Bingley's Netherfield Ball. Now thrust into high society as the new mistress of Pemberley, Elizabeth does not know how to fulfill her new role while continuing to love her family and stay true to herself. And she is not sure if her husbands desire for her is stronger than the anger he feels because he believes she tricked him into this marriage.

Darcy was always inexplicably drawn to Elizabeth Bennet. But he'd never meant to marry far beneath himself. A drunken impulsive kiss, and then the witnesses, led by Elizabeth's mother, burst in and sealed his fate. Fitzwilliam Darcy was a man who refused to lie to himself — they had schemed to trap him, but he had been the one to kiss Elizabeth. And he'd drunk so much that night because he'd been unhappy that he would need to leave her behind the next day.

He desperately wanted her. He could be happy with Elizabeth. If only she would behave as his wife ought to.

This Pride and Prejudice variation from the author of Mr. Bennet's Daughter and Disability and Determination is filled with witty banter, affection, forgiveness and love.
