He hid his true identity. She hid her heart. But love has a way of revealing all.Fitzwilliam Darcy has never had a day to himself. Bound by duty, wealth, and an ever-watchful society, he longs for one thing he cannot have—freedom. Determined to escape the expectations that rule his life, he assumes the identity of a humble tutor, seeking solace in the countryside. But when he meets Elizabeth Bennet, his carefully constructed disguise is suddenly at risk. Elizabeth has always known her place in the world. A gentleman of Darcy’s standing would never look twice at her—but the quiet, intelligent tutor who speaks of literature and horses with such ease? He is safe. He is kind. He is someone she can trust. He is a friend, or so she plans. But trust can be dangerous. As their friendship deepens into something far more perilous, Darcy finds himself trapped—not by duty, but by the very deception he created. And Elizabeth, drawn to a man she believes is beneath her reach, must decide if love is worth the greatest risk of all. Will the truth ruin them? Or will it set them free? A tale of love, identity, and the impossible choices that lead us home.
Author
An award winning author, including the GOLD in Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards and LDSPMA Praiseworthy's top award for Romance, Jen Geigle Johnson has more stories circulating in her brain than can possibly be told. She discovered her passion for England while kayaking on the Thames near London as a young teenager. HIstory is her main jam. Her literary heroes include the greats: Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. But she has modern sensibilities as well. Six children and an inspiring husband keep her going and make certain she doesn't stay glued to a keyboard or lost in obscure fascinating details of old castles. She once greeted an ancient turtle under the water by grabbing her fin. She waterskis like a boss and hits the powder, falling down steep moguls with grace. During a study break date in college, she sat on top of a jeep's roll bars up in the mountains and fell in love with the man who would become her everything. Now, she loves to share bits of history that might otherwise be forgotten. Whether in Regency England, the French Revolution, or Colonial America, her romance novels are much like life is supposed to be: full of adventure. https://www.jengeiglejohnson.com Twitter—@authorjen Instagram—@authorlyjen https://www.facebook.com/AuthorJenGei...
