When Colonel Fitzwilliam's disclosures are interrupted by the bearer of distressing news from Longbourn, Miss Elizabeth Bennet is compelled to accept an offer she would have otherwise dismissed out of hand.
An offer of marriage from the all-too-proud Mr Darcy.
Yet how is she to live with a husband she hardly knows and does not love? Will she continue to feel trapped in a marriage of convenience while events conspire to divide them? Or would love grow as, day by day and hour after hour, she learns to understand the man she married, before she loses his trust and his heart?Given the 'early marriage' premise, the issue of growing affection and intimacy is central to the story.
The relevant scenes are not graphic, but the novel does address mature themes.

And I of you.
It was quite a surprise to hear you were contemplating kissing me as far back as November.
I should have.
What a foolish waste of five months of happiness.
I am very glad I make you happy, she said quietly, and found with some surprise that she was in earnest.
You know you do.
More than I ever thought possible, Mr Darcy whispered hoarsely and reached to lift her off the sofa and bring her close, ensconced in a tight embrace.
Elizabeth wrapped her arms around his neck, abandoning herself to his kisses, only to find guilt welling afresh when his lips left her skin just for long enough to whisper, My love, you are everything.
'Do not say it, oh, do not say it ' she felt the strongest urge to caution him.
'Do not give me so much power over you.
'How unspeakably odd it felt to hear him openly avow it, after his reserve of full six months' standing.
It was as if everything he had held in check was now offered without hesitation, unstoppably comi.
