Twins for Mr Darcy by J. Dawn King ★★★★★
Jane Bingley dies in childbirth and her grief maddened husband, Charles is soon lost in a riding accident.
This leaves orphaned Charlie and Clara, to the care of their heartbroken aunt, Elizabeth Bennet.
She and her family have little legal standing and the vultures are circling, seeking to claim the Bingley fortune and the Bingley heir.
Enter Fitzwilliam Darcy, sometime friend of Charles. Although estranged, Darcy is the person Bingley contacts for aid in his grief.
Darcy arrives at Netherfield Park to offer support to Charles, only hours after his death. Suddenly, the burden of responsibility is so much greater.
Elizabeth Bennet dislikes Darcy. On his previous visit to Netherfield his behaviour was haughty and arrogant.
When she learns that he plans to take the twins into his care, she is hostile and scared.
Darcy has long admired Elizabeth and is shocked that she finds him thoroughly objectionable.
The Court of Chancery will not grant guardianship to a single woman, an aging country squire and a young man of fortune.
To improve their case and better protect the children, Elizabeth reluctantly agrees to marry Darcy.
The Darcy's must learn to live together, caring for the twins, whilst battling against cold and calculating opponents.
I loved this book! The interactions between Darcy and the babies are delightful.
His willingness to embrace the Bennets at Darcy House, starts to weave a mantle of love and family around the children. The Fitzwilliams and even Lady Catherine de Bourgh are besotted with them.
I heartily recommend this to you!
I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review. All views expressed are my own.
