Through the Eyes of Love
Can two imperfect people find a perfect life together?
“There are many stories about that old place.”
“What kind of stories? I hope no one thinks it is haunted!’
“Quite the opposite; many say the cottage is enchanted.”
Tragedy at Longbourn forces Elizabeth Bennet to go into service and eventually ends work in Lambton. She arrived in Derbyshire shortly after Pemberley is destroyed by fire, nearly killing Fitzwilliam Darcy.His face is left scarred, and he can barely walk; wallowing in his guilt and rage, he is drunk most days. Darcy is disconsolate until he encounters an intelligent, caring woman who is working at Pembrook Cottage as a maid.
Darcy gradually falls in love with Elizabeth and proposes, but his self-reproach over the destruction of his family home renders him unable to express his feelings for her. As weeks pass, she can no longer remain near the man she loves, a man who shows her no affection. Elizabeth makes plans to leave rather than have her heart irrevocably broken.
In this steam-free Regency romance about disaster and recovery, will Darcy and Elizabeth look through the eyes of love and find the happiness they seek?
