Mr. Darcy’s Twelfth Night
Elizabeth Ann West
A steamy Twelfth Night ball, a jealous rival, and a husband who will burn the world down to protect his wife.
They said “I do” at Netherfield. London society said “You shouldn’t have.”
Elizabeth and Darcy’s double wedding with the Bingleys should have been their happy ending. Instead, it launched them into London’s glittering gauntlet, where every misstep was judged and every inadequacy magnified.
For Elizabeth, the ton made it abundantly clear: she lacked the breeding to be Mrs. Darcy.
For Darcy, every slight against his wife was a knife to the heart.
She thought he was ashamed of her. He thought she didn’t want him. Neither could see that their silence was the real enemy.
What Elizabeth didn’t know: Darcy was convinced he was failing her. Every criticism she endured felt like his failure to protect. When the gulf between them threatens to become unbridgeable, he realizes he’d been so focused on shielding her from society that he’d forgotten to simply be her husband.
Could Our Dear Couple find the courage to be vulnerable enough, honest enough, brave enough to truly choose each other again?
