Elizabeth Bennet regrets spurning Mr Darcy’s marriage proposal. Darcy, humbled by her rejection, resolves to become a man worthy of her love. But an unexpected betrayal proves an even greater obstacle to their already fragile hopes of reconciliation than either could have imagined.
Tropes: second chances • bad Jane Bennet • protective hero • bad Bingley • happily ever after
This book could have been written by Jane Austen herself. The wit, animation of character and language is absolutely spot on.

Read an excerpt
Elizabeth had all but broken him – shattered his misplaced reserve, unravelled his mistaken principles, and revealed a man in desperate need of redemption. Then she had entwined herself about his heart, reformed him by her design, and made a true gentleman of him. She was not merely the woman he loved; she was the architect of his soul. He could no more stop loving her now than he could stop breathing.
