A Wound Deeper Than Pride by Ali Scott. ★★★★☆
Following, probably
the worst proposal in literature, Darcy is wounded by rejection and berating
himself for being an idiot. Elizabeth is mortified at her reaction, especially
when she realises that she thoroughly misunderstood Darcy.
They both wish for
another chance.
In London,
Elizabeth decides to finagle a trip to Mayfair, so that she can tell Mr Bingley
how much Jane Bennet misses him.
Elizabeth and Maria
Lucas wander around Mayfair, but before she finds Bingley’s house, their plans
are turned upside down.
Maria spots Darcy,
on the steps of a handsome townhouse. The following minutes bring Elizabeth,
Darcy and Maria into close quarters with a moving coach and the cobbled street.
Darcy insists on
Maria and Elizabeth recovering from their injuries at his house, chaperoned by
Mrs Annesley.
Thus, our dear
couple are afforded a second chance to know each other and perhaps find love?
Really enjoyed this.
Much more limited cast of characters, with the most annoying ones, happily
absent!
