    Summary

    Three years of silence. Three years of regret. Unexpectedly reunited at a Peak District house party, Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet conceal their unresolved feelings behind new attachments. Yet beneath the polite smiles and stolen glances, their spark still burns…even as rumors of an illegitimate child suggest Darcy is a man Elizabeth no longer knows.

    Everything changes on the edge of a limestone gorge. When Elizabeth falls, Darcy follows. Surviving the fall was the easy part; surviving the scandal is another matter entirely. Driven apart by high-society schemes and Darcy's own secrets, all hope seems lost. Facing the aftermath will test everything they believe about honor, duty, and each other.

    But if they can manage to stop courting disaster and simply court each other, they might just prove that some second chances are worth fighting for.

    Summary

    Elizabeth Bennet expects her visit to Pemberley to last only an afternoon.

    An unexpected meeting with Mr Darcy is awkward enough. But when one of Darcy’s young spaniels escapes and startles the Gardiners’ horses, their carriage overturns before they have even left the estate.

    With Mr Gardiner too badly injured to travel, Elizabeth and her relations must remain at Pemberley until he recovers.

    A few hours in Mr Darcy’s company had already begun to change Elizabeth’s opinion of him. Several days beneath the same roof may change rather more.
