Bound by loss, trapped in a marriage neither of them wanted. Can they turn heartache into a love worth fighting for?

Elizabeth Bennet never intended to marry Fitzwilliam Darcy, but when a tragic misunderstanding casts her into the center of a ruinous scandal, she has no choice but to accept his offer. What begins as a desperate attempt to save her honor quickly turns into a battle of wills between two fiercely independent souls—each guarding their secrets, each bound by duty, and each longing for more than society would ever allow.

Beneath Darcy's rigid exterior lies a man tormented by guilt and grief, haunted by his brother's death and the weight of his responsibilities. And while Elizabeth wrestles with her own sorrow and the wounds of a past betrayal, she finds herself drawn to the man she should resent.

As danger stirs from the shadows of Harry Darcy's past, Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam must confront the lies that bind them and the truth that threatens to tear them apart. Can they set aside their pride and mistrust long enough to fight for the love neither expected—but both need?
