About this listen

Bound by duty; saved by love.

When tragedy leaves Fitzwilliam Darcy clinging to life, Elizabeth Bennet sacrifices her dreams to repay the debt owed to her family's damaged savior. But can her compassion penetrate his bitter heart and spark hope again?

Beneath Darcy’s aloof bitterness smolders a broken, vulnerable man stripped of his mobility and purpose. While Elizabeth grapples with this unexpected fate—a marriage of convenience that is proving to be decidedly inconvenient—they discover that they might just be more alike than they are different. As mutual dependence awakens a deep, trusting affection between two defiant hearts, can their blossoming care withstand not only Darcy’s demons, but pressure from a society still expecting them to produce an heir?

What fates decree as a marriage of cold duty has the power to transform two contrary souls and lead them to discover the truest liberation—of laughter and joy; partnership and understanding. And above all, the freedom found when true minds and hearts decide to throw off their armor for one another.

I LOVED this book. so very interesting that I couldn't stop listening (I have audio).
Darcy's life has been changed dramatically to say the least and only a Lizzy could be the one to deal with him. They certainly didn't have a good start but oh how wonderful it was to see their love grow to something so very special! ❤️
The colonel as always is the fun of it and helps Darcy through a dark time with his own brand of humour and love for his stubborn cousin in this he never fails.
I really like how Alix deals with some really challenging issues but with heaps of patience, humour and eventually love each challenge is dealt with.
Georgianna has a very difficult time but overcomes and matures a lot.
The narrator who is one of my favourite does an amazing job! even the Scottish accents. 🙌 She does bring a story to life with each character being portrayed perfectly! I have no idea how she has the ability to make each character voice PERFECT! (I really feel like I am literally there in the story with them).
Have listened to this many many times and I never tire of it.
Highly recommend! BRILLIANT!

A great book!
