Beneath Darcy's aloof bitterness smoulders a broken, vulnerable man stripped of his mobility and purpose. While Elizabeth grapples with this unexpected fate-a marriage of convenience that is proving to be decidedly inconvenient-they discover that they might just be more alike than they are different. As mutual dependence awakens a deep, trusting affection between two defiant hearts, can their blossoming care withstand not only Darcy's demons, but pressure from a society still expecting them to produce an heir?
What fates decree as a marriage of cold duty has the power to transform two contrary souls and lead them to discover the truest liberation-of laughter and joy; partnership and understanding. And above all, the freedom found when true minds and hearts decide to throw off their armour for one another.
