On her husband’s deathbed, Lady Anne gives her solemn promise: she will protect their children from every evil; even from the misguided treachery of their own hearts, if she must.
Fierce in her love and blessed with uncommon perception, she has an uncanny gift for discerning both promise and peril long before either comes to pass.
Her greatest concern is her son, Fitzwilliam Darcy, whose rigid sense of duty threatens to blind him to the extraordinary young woman destined to claim every corner of their hearts.
Elizabeth Bennet soon finds in Lady Anne the mother she never expected, while Lady Anne, in turn, embraces Elizabeth as a second and beloved daughter.
Determined to secure their happiness, she quietly sets her own schemes in motion, creating every opportunity for affection to flourish.
Yet true love rarely follows a straight path, and much must unfold before Darcy and Elizabeth can earn their happily-ever-after.
Featuring all your favourite characters, along with a few delightful new faces, this sweet, clean Regency romance offers gentle humour, tender matchmaking, modest angst, and abundant charm.
