Mr. Darcy’s proposal was a disaster. The disaster that followed was rather worse.
Elizabeth Bennet has refused Mr. Darcy, and she has no intention of regretting it. A man who insults her family while offering her his hand deserves exactly the answer she gave him.
But before Darcy can leave Kent—and before Elizabeth can enjoy the satisfaction of being entirely right—the bridge at Hunsford collapses.
What follows involves a village in crisis, a useless clergyman, Lady Catherine’s opinions on bridge repair, and the deeply inconvenient discovery that the man she just refused becomes very difficult to despise when he is willing to kneel in the mud beside her and do what needs doing.
Darcy cannot undo his first proposal.
But he may yet earn the right to make a better one.
The Hunsford Bridge is a sweet, clean Pride and Prejudice variation novella and the first standalone in The Hunsford Variations series. Forced proximity. Enemies-to-lovers tension. A guaranteed Darcy and Elizabeth happily-ever-after.
