A different outcome of Georgiana Darcy’s near ruin in Ramsgate leads to a different party arriving in Hertfordshire. Not only is its composition altered, but the changed circumstances have lasting effects, not only in Miss Darcy but also her brother. The Bennet family is also changed, as a new suitor emerges for the worthiest of the Bennet sisters, one who is not beset by dissenting sisters, protesting her unsuitability. And while Mr. Darcy is still notable in his objections, there is little he can do to push back against the inevitable, as his sway is not nearly so profound. Her sister having obtained her happiness, Elizabeth Bennet finds herself thrown into society far above any she might have otherwise expected. But as she travels to new locations, Elizabeth meets a mysterious man who strangely attracts her. But of greater consequence is Elizabeth’s growing feelings for Mr. Darcy, for the gentleman, who was disapproving of them all when she met him, has begun to show her another side of himself, one which Elizabeth feels she could come to love.
