She never meant to fall in love with him.
He never meant to fall in love with her twice.
Everyone in Hertfordshire knows why Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy set his sights on Miss Charlotte Rochford. Beautiful, accomplished, and well-born, Charlotte is the perfect future mistress of Pemberley—exactly the sort of woman a man like Darcy should court.
But Darcy’s admiration comes with a flaw: his letters. Wordy, solemn, and painfully earnest, they leave Charlotte baffled—and mortified. She desires Darcy’s wealth and status, yet has no patience for his long, tedious letters, nor the talent to compose appropriate replies. Desperate not to lose such a valuable suitor, she begs her dearest friend, Elizabeth Bennet, to help her.
Elizabeth wants no part of the deception… but faced with Charlotte’s pleading, she reluctantly agrees. One dull letter becomes two, and Darcy’s own words reveal a man far different from the proud, disdainful gentleman she remembers. A man who writes with honesty, tenderness, and longing.
A man she never expected to care for.
A man who is unknowingly falling in love—with her.
When an accident steals Darcy’s memories, he returns determined to reclaim the courtship he believes he began with Charlotte. Instead, he finds himself drawn inexplicably to Elizabeth… the very woman whose letters captured his heart.
But before she can confess the truth, a compromising incident forces Darcy and Elizabeth into marriage—binding them together on a foundation of secrets.
Can a love born of deception survive the return of Darcy’s memories?
Or will the truth destroy the only happiness either of them has ever known?
