What if Darcy and Elizabeth both maintained civil tempers during the Hunsford Proposal?

    While Kitty relishes in the change, Lizzy feels lost in her new world, constrained by society’s expectations, and dreadfully homesick. That changes when she meets Georgiana Darcy, a girl even more in need of a friend than Lizzy herself. As weeks turn to months, however, Elizabeth begins to wonder if she will ever be able to go home—and if she will have to take matters into her own hands to make it happen. Fitzwilliam Darcy has lost his father and inherited a great deal of responsibility, all thanks to a man he once called his friend. Most challenging of his new duties is caring for his younger sister, Georgiana. When she befriends another young lady, Darcy cannot decide if Elizabeth Bennet is an angel or an imp, but he cannot get her out of his mind. Should he banish her from Georgiana’s company before her impulsive ways affect his sister, or make an offer that would keep her in their life for good? Thrown together in a remarkably different situation than Jane Austen’s original, Darcy and Elizabeth face challenges both new and familiar, influenced in part by the difference in their ages. She lacks wisdom; he is less jaded—and both of them are struggling to adapt to a new life. Can they find their way to happily ever after even so?
