Their Moment Of Happiness

​​

Hope blooms anew in Fitzwilliam Darcy's heart as he asks Elizabeth Bennet for her hand in marriage for the second time. This time, he dares to believe he has her heart; this time her fine eyes show affection, even love for him and he dares to believe she will at last be his. But before her answer can escape her lips, an interruption arrives.

Darcy’s family—led by a cold and commanding Lady Catherine—has descended upon Hertfordshire to deliver a brutal ultimatum: abandon Elizabeth Bennet and fulfill the ancient family duty he was born to uphold. Honour, fortune, and reputation hang in the balance, along with an obligation to marry his cousin, Anne de Bourgh.

​

Under pressure from her own father, Elizabeth steels herself and sends Mr Darcy away. But though she refuses him with her words, her eyes—and her heart—betray her true wish: that he will fight for them, that he will defy his family’s expectations and most of all that he will come back.

​

Fuelled by love and a fierce determination, Darcy vows to shatter the chains of duty and win the future they both deserve. For Elizabeth’s sake—and the chance to see joy once more light her beautiful eyes—he will risk everything. But can love overcome the weight of obligation and family expectations?
