Fitzwilliam Darcy is a man with a great many secrets to keep, one involves his sister, and the other involves his heart. The problem is, he cannot just keep the secrets. They demand attention, and action, and in desperate times, a desperate man does not always think things through, even when he is desperately trying to do the right thing for the two most important women in his life.
