Her past is shrouded in mystery. Having been discovered wounded and wandering a lonely road in Derbyshire twelve years ago, Elizabeth remembers nothing of her life before the Bennets took her in. Whatever shreds of memory she has are hazy and unclear. Content with the love of her adopted family, she never could have imagined the turn her life would take when Netherfield Park is let at last.

Fitzwilliam Darcy is pleased to assist his good friend Charles Bingley as he learns to navigate estate management. That is, until Bingley begins acting peculiarly around one of the daughters of the neighboring estate. He is baffled by Mr. Bingley’s strange fixation with one sister even as he courts another. Darcy, too, finds Miss Elizabeth fascinating, but feels he cannot fully court the lady while Bingley is behaving so oddly.

When her past identity is revealed, Elizabeth must come to understand how to unite who she was with who she is. The mystery of what happened in her father’s house haunts her, and an unknown enemy seeks to finish what he started twelve years prior. Unable to resist her pull, Darcy joins Elizabeth as she learns to navigate her new life. As the danger mounts, he must protect her at all costs or risk losing the lady he loves forever. The former Miss Elizabeth Bennet is heiress to a fortune and an earldom, but is it worth the cost?
