Description
Darcy's Secret is a clean and romantic Regency novel, a variation of the beloved classic of Pride and Prejudice for all fans to rejoice in their favourite characters.
In London, every member of the ton knows that Mr. Darcy keeps a scandalous secret, but no one dares to claim they know the whole truth about the woman living under his protection.
A young lady of little fortune...
Elizabeth Bennet is well aware that her prospects of making an advantageous marriage are low. Her family's lack of fortune and connections are against her but even more so, her witty, obstinate mind seems to keep potential suitors at a distance. On the other hand Meredith Whitney, Sir Edward Whitney's daughter and Elizabeth's dearest friend, promises to be much more fortunate, as the Hertfordshire neighbourhood waits with bated breath for the announcement of her engagement to Mr. Bingley.
When Mr. Bingley's party comes to stay at Hudson Park at Sir Edward Whitney's invitation, fate brings Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth together, although their first encounter is equally awkward and mortifying for both. Still, it is enough to spark interest. It seems that she has finally found her match.
A gentleman with a secret...
Elizabeth begins to learn that there is much more to Mr. Darcy than her first impression of an arrogant and taciturn gentleman inclined to annoy her, and she realises he has somehow found the key to her mind and heart. Much to her surprise, in just a few encounters, Mr. Darcy manages to enter Elizabeth's thoughts as no one has ever done before. The strangely warm sentiment appears to be mutual, until Elizabeth accidentally learns about the person who lies at the core of Mr. Darcy's secret life. In search of justice Meet Mrs. Flora Guillen, a Jamaican woman of colour -- beautiful, amiable, intelligent, but above all with a sadness in her eyes that cannot be easily understood.
In befriending her, Elizabeth unwittingly starts to unveil the truth behind the secret, a story of heartbreak and survival that affects not only Darcy's reputation, but also the lives of so many others.
