    Summary

    "Miss Bennet," he said at last, very quietly, "it is fortunate that the rules of propriety spare us such games."

    "Is it?" Her tone was gentle, teasing. "And what if they did not, Mr. Darcy?"

    His composure showed visible strain. "If I were your husband," he said, his voice dropping lower still, "you would know precisely what I want, for I would--"

    Summary

    "Welcome home," she said, and heard the brittleness in her own voice, the mockery of the sentiment.

    "This has not been home for some time, madam. For either of us."

    Then he was gone, and Elizabeth was left in her carefully claimed sitting room, staring at a book she could not read, wondering how they had arrived at this--two people bound together by law and circumstance, which neither could escape, circling each other like wounded animals in a house too small for their shared misery.

    ***

    Trapped in an unhappy marriage, Elizabeth learns how to love her husband.

    Summary

    A sudden storm at Rosings Park forces Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy to take shelter together in an abandoned gamekeeper’s lodge. Stranded, soaked, and sharing a bottle of dubious whiskey, their usual defenses begin to slip. What begins with banter and begrudging warmth soon gives way to something far more dangerous—desire. In the space between propriety and passion, they cross a boundary neither of them can easily retreat from. But once the storm passes, what remains is not just the aftermath of their tryst, but the unraveling of everything they thought they knew about each other—and themselves.
