I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun. AN EARLY MORNING WALK AND A MEETING with Mr Darcy have disastrous consequences for Elizabeth Bennet. Caught in what seemed like a compromising position, Elizabeth finds herself forced to marry a man she barely knows and certainly does not like. FITZWILLIAM DARCY IS ANGRY to find himself entrapped by an unsuitable young lady but it is not long before he begins to feel some danger where she is concerned. His wife is pretty and charming, and Darcy soon realises that she is exactly the sort of lady who can make him happy. As the summer days pass at Pemberley, Darcy and Elizabeth find more common ground than either of them ever expected…and love begins to bloom. JUST AS HAPPINESS IN MARRIAGE BEGINS to seem possible, old acquaintances arrive with their own plans and schemes for the newly married couple. Lady Henrietta Bartlesbee is beautiful, wealthy, and accomplished, and not accustomed to being denied what she wants. And what she wants is Elizabeth’s husband. AN UNEXPECTED LOVE is a forced marriage scenario, Pride and Prejudice Variation for fans of the works of Jane Austen
