'That she, Miss Elizabeth Bennet, the impertinent country miss who had so vehemently rejected Mr Darcy when he had proposed to her the first time, could now be happily engaged to that same man only some seven months later, was astonishing when she thought over their shared history together. It seemed to her that they had spent much of their acquaintance at odds with one another, baiting one another with opposing views and strong wills on both sides. How now to deal with this enigmatic man, now that the war between them was over and a truce had been called?' This ‘Pride and Prejudice’ continuation tells the story of their journey to a better understanding of one another, as well as the trials that they face on their way to the church altar. Not everyone is pleased to hear about their impending nuptials and there are various family members on both sides whom Elizabeth and Mr Darcy will need to win over. And naturally, there will still be disagreements between two such strong willed people as they become more familiar with one another and learn how to compromise. Up until now their conduct with one another has always been scrupulously proper, but now that Elizabeth and Mr Darcy have declared their love for one another, the friction between them ignites into passion when trouble stirs...
