Synopsis

That terrible event Elizabeth and her family has ever dreaded has come to pass and brought with it changes which none of them could have anticipated. Faced with navigating a whole new world with whole new advantages, are they up to the task? Collecting marriage proposals like handkerchiefs, Elizabeth wonders if she might have spurned her one chance at lasting happiness when she learns that Mr Darcy is not at all who she believed him to be.

Darcy is tired of fighting his feelings. His heart knows what it wants, and that is Elizabeth Bennet. When he learns that Mr. Bennet has passed away, he imagines riding in as the white knight, a savior come to rescue his beloved from a life of poverty. But when he reaches Hertfordshire, something is amiss and he finds that Elizabeth needs no rescuing, thank you very much.

About Melissa Halcomb

Melissa Halcomb first discovered Pride and Prejudice at the age of eleven when her aunt was recording the BBC miniseries from TV to VHS and instantly fell in love. A voracious reader, this led her to the novel which, in turn, led to the discovery of Jane Austen's other excellent works, Persuasion being her favorite. She stumbled upon the genre of Jane Austen fan fiction in 2019 and was hooked. After reading so many variations and imaging storylines of her own, she began writing them down and, for the first time, discovered her passion in life.

Melissa lives in Alaska, with her husband-a delightful combination of Mr. Darcy and Mr. Tilney-their five children, and a great behemoth of a dog, Knightley. When not reading or writing, which is not very often, Melissa enjoys camping in the wild Alaskan frontier, baking, doing yoga, and riding her motorcycle in the most beautiful place on earth. And sleeping. Sleeping is the best.
