A false engagement. A true connection.
Their love was never meant to be real—until it was.
Mr. Bennet’s sudden death leaves his family on the brink of ruin. To save them, Elizabeth’s beloved sister Jane must marry their odious cousin, James Morton. But when the charming Mr. Bingley arrives, Jane quickly falls in love.
Elizabeth does all she can to help their romance blossom—until Mr. Bingley’s proud and insufferable friend, Mr. Darcy, intervenes. Convinced Jane is a fortune hunter, he persuades Bingley to leave.
Elizabeth vows never to forgive him—until scandal changes everything.
The London papers announce Mr. Darcy’s engagement to a mysterious “Miss B.” Society assumes it is Caroline Bingley—but Darcy knows the truth: he has never been alone with her. The entire scandal is a fabrication, designed to trap him.
Elizabeth makes Darcy a shocking proposal: she will pose as the real “Miss B” to free him from Caroline’s scheme. In return, he must pay off Longbourn’s debts and help reunite Jane with Bingley.
Their courtship is meant to be a simple arrangement. Yet as they move through London’s glittering ballrooms, stolen glances turn tender, and guarded conversations grow dangerously sincere. Elizabeth begins to see the man behind Darcy’s pride, while he falls under the spell of her wit and warmth.
Soon, neither knows where the pretense ends and true feeling begins.
But as enemies close in, threatening to expose their deception, they must ask: can a love born of lies ever become something real?
