As Elizabeth Bennet tours Pemberley, she feels anxious about running into the owner, Mr. Darcy. Having rejected his proposal of marriage, she assumes he must loathe her.

However, when they do cross paths, she is pleasantly surprised to find that he harbours no ill feelings towards her.

Unfortunately, Elizabeth is unaware that her reunion with the master of Pemberley is regarded with suspicion by one very significant member of the household.

To this person, very few are good enough for Darcy and Elizabeth is dismissed as a fortune hunter to be repelled.

Darcy is astonished to discover Miss Bennet's presence in his home, and even more surprised to learn that her opinion of him has significantly improved. He begins to contemplate resuming his efforts to win her affection, but unforeseen obstacles emerge that could jeopardize their chances of happiness.

Pemberley is under threat. What starts as a small crack, grows bigger, eventually threatening an entire wing. This also serves as a metaphor for the crumbling of the very foundation of the Pemberley household.

Darcy has always found sanctuary at Pemberley, so it's undermining is especially distressing.

At the same time Darcy and Elizabeth must find the way back to each other, despite the obstacles placed between them by a thoroughly unexpected betrayal.

Jessie Lewis has yet again, delivered a brilliant book.
A balance of yearning, betrayal, angst and profound love, this is a book that is hard to put down.

I highly recommend that you read this.

Just don't start reading it at bedtime!
