Darcy's Paramour
Elizabeth on the run …
Four months have passed since Darcy’s ill-fated proposal to Elizabeth at Hunsford Parsonage. Shaken, he has retreated into solitary pursuits such as walking and fishing. Much time has been lost lamenting past errors, but he sees at last a way forward. He will try to get Elizabeth back. Risk a confession to Bingley. Convince Lady Catherine that he will never marry her daughter. Curb his pride and disrespect for others. Seek a reunion. And hope.
No sooner has this resolution been formed than Darcy receives dramatic news of the Bennets. The family has been disgraced, not by Lydia, but by Elizabeth herself. She has been convicted of a felony and is now missing, believed a fugitive. Alone and without means, she faces destitution—or transportation at best if caught.
Convinced of Elizabeth’s innocence, Darcy stands by his resolution. But how can he help Elizabeth without locating her? And how can he locate her without betraying her to the authorities? The conundrum seems insoluble. Will love find a way?
Darcy's Longest Day
Friday 18th May, 1804
Dawn. St Albans, Hertfordshire. Fitzwilliam Darcy travels north with his sister, bound for Pemberley. In his frockcoat pocket lies a letter to Elizabeth Bennet, penned the night after his disastrous proposal. He intended to hand it to her before quitting Rosings for London, but their paths never crossed.
His plan is to call at Longbourn while visiting Bingley, now returned to Netherfield. Darcy broods over possible complications. Elizabeth might refuse the letter. Bingley might have lost Jane Bennet’s esteem. The militia (including Wickham) might still be quartered in Meryton …
But these are minor worries. For what awaits him is a life-and-death struggle to protect all he holds dear, in what will prove the most momentous day of his life.
Darcy's Heritage
Double Trouble …
Dispirited by Elizabeth’s rejection, Darcy receives a further shock in the form of an express from his solicitor. Two men from India have arrived in London. One is a legal adviser; the other claims to be Darcy’s step-brother. They bring documents testifying that Darcy’s father, while resident in Calcutta, married a woman whom he later deserted. If their allegations are true, Darcy is illegitimate, and his step-brother is the rightful heir to Pemberley.
It seems bizarre, impossible. But the solicitor cannot refute the evidence, and Darcy fears all is lost: not just the woman he loves, but the estate, his reputation, everything. Months pass as he struggles for a way out.
Then, unexpectedly, Elizabeth re-enters his life …
