He has her hand in marriage. Her trust is another matter.
Elizabeth Darcy arrives in London with a husband she desires and a marriage she cannot trust. Darcy reads her letters, governs her movements, and calls it protection. The secret binding them to Hunsford gives his family every reason to demand her silence.
But Elizabeth has begun asking what is truly hers—and what she may choose without his permission. Beside her, Charlotte must decide how much longer safety is worth another man’s control.
When Darcy makes one decision too many on Elizabeth’s behalf, he risks the very future he means to secure. Desire still draws them together. It cannot answer the question now between can he love her when she is free to leave?
The concluding volume of Shadows of Rosings Park, a dark, steamy Pride and Prejudice variation. Read Parts 1 and 2 first.
