When Miss Bingley arrives at Pemberley in a state of alarm, Mr. Darcy is quick to learn that his friend's future may be in jeopardy. Convinced that Jane Bennet intends to secure Charles Bingley by any means necessary, Darcy determines to intervene—unaware that his actions will only deepen the divide between himself and Elizabeth Bennet.
Elizabeth is certain that Darcy's interference proves him proud, meddlesome, and determined to deny her sister happiness. Darcy believes Elizabeth would gladly entrap his friend if given the opportunity. Each is convinced of the other's worst intentions, and neither is prepared to concede error.
Yet the truth has a way of asserting itself. When unsettling revelations concerning Mr. Wickham come to light, Darcy is forced to confront the possibility that he has been gravely mistaken. With Georgiana Darcy's courage and Elizabeth's resolve bringing hidden matters into the open, long-standing deceptions unravel, and Wickham's hold over Hertfordshire is finally broken.
As misunderstandings fade and trust is slowly rebuilt, Darcy and Elizabeth must face not only their flawed judgments, but the growing affection they have been reluctant to acknowledge.
