Total pages: 60

Elizabeth Bennet’s father has raised her to value a person’s character more than their appearance. He learned the hard way that physical beauty can conceal poor behavior—an error he made in marrying his wife. Determined not to repeat Mr. Bennet’s mistake, Elizabeth resolves to judge people by more than outward appearances. When Mr. Darcy, a guest of the new resident of Netherfield Park, attends the local assembly, she is intrigued.
Mr. Darcy’s face has been the subject of gossip and ridicule all his life. A port-wine birth mark covers a considerable portion of his face and invites suspicion and cruelty from those around him. A broken nose and scar only worsen his appearance. When his friend Bingley insists that they attend an assembly the night of his arrival, Darcy is reluctant. What lady would not find it a punishment to stand up with him? When he meets Elizabeth Bennet, he is captivated at once. She sees him.

As their acquaintance deepens, Mr. Darcy finds himself in love with the country miss. But one misunderstanding threatens everything. Letting the past dictate his actions, he breaks Elizabeth’s heart. Understanding comes, and he must now seek forgiveness from the only lady who has ever loved him.

This Darcy and Elizabeth Pride and Prejudice variation is a sweet, low-angst story where beauty is more than skin deep, and a happily ever after is assured.
