Elizabeth Bennet never expected a brief friendship to change her life.

Julia Harding came to Hertfordshire in the summer of 1810 and quickly grew close to Elizabeth Bennet. When she leaves without warning, Elizabeth does the only thing she can — she writes. At first her letters are full of news and well wishes. But as months pass without a single reply, they become something else entirely: a place to record her hopes, her disappointments, her private dreams.

Fitzwilliam Darcy never intended to read them.

Recovering from the events at Ramsgate, Darcy retreats to a neglected estate cottage — and discovers a bundle of forgotten letters addressed to a former tenant. One letter becomes two. Two become many more. Before long, he is captivated by the wit, intelligence, and warmth of a woman he has never met.

By the time he arrives in Hertfordshire with Charles Bingley, Darcy knows Elizabeth Bennet better than most people in her world.
The problem is that Elizabeth does not know him at all.

As their paths grow ever more entangled, Darcy must reckon with a secret that could undo whatever hopes he has begun to cherish. For while Elizabeth may one day forgive his pride, she may never forgive the way he came to know her heart.

Dear Friendis a sweet, low-angst, emotional Pride and Prejudice variation about friendship, missed connections, private correspondence — and a love that begins long before its participants ever meet.
