What if Elizabeth Bennet, after refusing Mr. Darcy's proposal, had married another man?What if Darcy, heartbroken, had spent a long year traveling across Vienna, Italy, and the grand salons of Europe?And what if, upon returning, England was no longer the country he had once known?
Now that Elizabeth belongs to the past and the wounds have fallen into silence, Mr. Darcy returns to Pemberley. His name is once again whispered in every drawing room, on the lips of every ambitious mother and every hopeful debutante: England's most sought-after bachelor is back.
But during a visit to his estate, he meets Victoria Norwood - a young woman of good standing, soon to debut in society, observant, thoughtful, and unlike anyone he's known before.
Not every wound is visible.And not every broken heart stays that way forever.
