All Elizabeth Bennet wants is for her father to bring back from Lambton a cutting of Pemberley’s famous roses. Little does she know that her humble request leads to her father’s imprisonment, putting both her father’s life and her childhood home of Longbourn at risk.
All Fitzwilliam Darcy wishes for is to be left alone. Scarred by a horrific attack, he has retreated into the solitude of Pemberley, guarding his heart as fiercely as he guards the walls of his grand estate, doing whatever he can to drown out the pain. When Elizabeth arrives on his doorstep, desperate to save her father, their worlds collide in unexpected ways.
