Wounded by the past, bound by fear—can divine love restore their broken hearts? Elizabeth Bennet has spent a lifetime believing she is unworthy of love. Overshadowed by the demands of propriety and the burden of protecting her sisters, she has learned to mask her pain behind wit and defiancé. But one mistake—one betrayal—threatens to unravel everything she's fought to hold together. Fitzwilliam Darcy has vowed never to surrender his heart. Hardened by his parents’ bitter and loveless union, he believes romantic love is a dangerous illusion—a luxury the master of Pemberley cannot afford. Yet when his actions strike at the very heart of Elizabeth’s fragile world, he is forced to face the cost of his pride and the depth of her hurt. Bound by duty, divided by secrets, and scarred by the past, Elizabeth and Darcy are thrust into a collision of hearts. As truths surface and hidden wounds are exposed, they must confront the lies they’ve believed about themselves, about each other—and about love itself. Only by surrendering their fear, forgiving the deepest of wounds, and turning to the Author of love can they find healing—and the courage to risk their hearts once more. Will grace be enough to bridge the chasm between them? Or will their pasts destroy the future they were destined to share? Please note, this is a Christian variation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice with enemies to more, forced marriage, and family secrets tropes.
