Fitzwilliam Darcy now knows how frustrating it was to fight the hydra of legend.

For every secret of the hauntingly talented Miss Elizabeth Bennet he uncovers, another rises to replace it.

But he must know all. A gentleman assists those beneath him when they quite obviously need his help — even if they have not asked.

Miss Elizabeth Bennet trusts no man.

Ever since she was a small girl, her Papa has constantly impressed upon her the need to keep that one last secret. The one that must never, never be revealed.

Any man who knew it would be even more determined to possess and control her talent.

All she can do is use this gift to slowly build her fortune, so she will never have to be dependent on a man. Even if he is tall, dark and impossibly handsome.

But, behind the final secret, the greatest betrayal awaits.

Can a love for the ages ever be born from an immovable stubbornness meeting an irresistible arrogant officiousness?
