Pemberley is lost! Darcy must work for his sworn enemy, the infuriating Elizabeth Bennet while keeping any inconvenient feelings at bay.

When a legal loophole robs Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley, he never imagines his ancestral estate will end up in the hands of the Bennet family. While Mr. Bennet contentedly settles into his new acquisition, appointing his second daughter as estate manager, Darcy is left with nothing but his wounded pride and a desperate plan to reclaim his birthright.

Swallowing his considerable dignity, Darcy accepts a position as steward at Pemberley, determined to monitor Elizabeth Bennet’s management and seize upon any mistake. But the sharp-witted Elizabeth proves frustratingly competent, treating both Darcy and his sister Georgiana with unexpected grace—allowing them to remain as guests in what was once their home.

As Mrs. Bennet busies herself with social climbing, inviting titled visitors and planning extravagant entertainments befitting Pemberley’s grandeur, Elizabeth and Darcy find themselves reluctantly working together to protect the estate they both cherish. When a darker conspiracy emerges, threatening both Pemberley and Longbourn, these sworn enemies, Darcy and Elizabeth, must decide what deserves their loyalty—pride, property, or the unexpected love that threatens to bloom.

A captivating Regency romance that turns Jane Austen’s beloved classic on its head, exploring how the journey from pride to humility might lead to the most surprising destination of all—home.

Great book

Couldn't Finish

The story idea sounded unique so I thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately the characters behavior was so far past belief it was like hearing a song you know well played with the wrong notes and occasionally the player just gave up and used their fists instead of fingers. Also the lack of attention to traveling times and distance between cities and estates was difficult to ignore. The characters traveled back and forth like they hopped in their car and drove to their neighbors house a few blocks down. All the issues the characters faced, from beginning to end, were avoidable, easily correctable and self inflicted for no good reason. Listening to this book exhausted me. Wanted to love it but my feelings are quite the reverse.
