What if their fortunes were reversed, but their hearts the same?

Fitzwilliam Darcy, son of a gentleman’s steward, never aspired beyond the quiet dignity of his post. But one disastrous encounter with Lady Elizabeth Bennet, spirited daughter of the Earl of Hartford, alters the course of both their lives.
A misunderstanding, an assault in the garden, and a single act of rescue give rise to a scandal that no propriety can mend—save by marriage.
Thus a steward’s son becomes the reluctant husband of an earl’s daughter. Bound by duty and divided by pride, they must learn to dwell beneath one roof—he burdened by a secret he dare not reveal, she convinced that he betrayed her trust.
Yet in the fragile peace of their uneasy union, affection begins to blossom where resentment once grew.
When the truth of that night at last comes to light, will love prove strong enough to survive the deception that first united them?

A non-canonical Pride and Prejudice variation — where scandal, duty, and desire defy station and expectation.
