Fitzwilliam Darcy loves Elizabeth Bennet. Unfortunately, having delivered the world's most insulting proposal, he was vehemently denied.

In an effort to explain himself and correct some misunderstandings, he writes a letter to Elizabeth, then drags his broken heart back to London.

Elizabeth feels mortified for having been so uncivil to Darcy and for misjudging him.

Some months later, Elizabeth is travelling with her newly married sister, Jane and her husband Charles.
She is shocked to find out that their destination is a house party at Pemberley, Darcy's home.

Elizabeth expects a distinctly chilly welcome, but Darcy does his best to make her feel welcome.

There is some angst as Darcy won't risk his heart by declaring himself, while Elizabeth grows closer to Darcy and yearns to tell him, but fears that she has lost his love.

During the house party, a flood hits Pemberley and the local town, Lambton.
Darcy must deal with the disaster, which has led to death and destruction.

In addition are some irritating guests, thefts, desecration of the drowned and a murder.

With the guests departure imminent, Darcy, Elizabeth and Colonel Fitzwilliam join forces to identify the culprit.

As expected ODC have a happy ending, but not before they face serious peril!

Excellent book!
