One borrowed life. One dangerous secret. And a disappearance that could ruin them all.
When a wealthy gentleman takes a sudden interest in Mary Bennet, her family is drawn into the brilliance of the London Season—installed in a fashionable townhouse the ton readily assumes to be their own.
For the first time, the Bennet sisters are the toast of the Season.
Jane is quickly charmed by the amiable Charles Bingley, while Elizabeth finds herself engaged in a battle of wits with his formidable friend, Fitzwilliam Darcy.
Proud, exacting, and far too observant, he ought to provoke nothing but irritation—yet Elizabeth cannot deny the unsettling attraction she would far rather resist.
But the higher they rise, the more perilous the fall. When the sharp-eyed Mrs.
Bingley begins to question the Bennets’ sudden elevation, she uncovers a far more dangerous family secret—one that was never meant to come to light. The consequences are swift.
Mary disappears. With scandal looming and time slipping away, Elizabeth has no choice but to accept the assistance of the one man whose wit matches her own—Mr. Darcy.
As their search leads them deeper into the truth, the tension between them begins to shift into something far more perilous.
And Elizabeth must decide— is his aid born of duty… or of a feeling neither of them can afford?
