After visiting her friend Charlotte Collins, Elizabeth leaves Kent carrying the distressing recollection of Mr Darcy’s marriage proposal. The letter he gave her after her harsh refusal has changed her opinion of the man and taught her how wrong she was in judging both Mr Darcy and Mr Wickham.
On her way back to Longbourn, Elizabeth spends a few days in London, reunited with Jane and the Gardiners.
A twist of fate brings her to a pawnbroker’s window, where she recognises a few objects related to Miss Darcy, reminding her of Mr Wickham’s betrayal and deceptions.
Despite the conflict that still exists between them and her certainty that Mr Darcy would never want to see her again, Elizabeth decides to inform him of her discovery, offering him the opportunity to save his sister’s reputation.
Contrary to her expectations, Elizabeth’s reunion with Mr Darcy shows her a less arrogant and more amiable gentleman, grateful to her and willing to take her past reproaches to heart. Furthermore, Mr Darcy does not come alone but brings Mr Bingley, who is equally amazed and happy to hear that Jane is in London.
The barriers towards a happily ever after seem to fall one by one, but there are still strong objections they have to overcome, and there is still Mr Wickham, seeking revenge.
Come and join Elizabeth and Mr Darcy, as well as Jane and Mr Bingley, in their search for happiness.
Painted with Love is a low angst, sweet, clean, and romantic Regency novella of approximately 20,000 words, appropriate for readers of all ages.
