    Summary

    "I had hoped," he said cautiously, "that my declaration might have improved me somewhat in your estimation."

    "It has not." A pause. Elizabeth prayed for someone, anyone, to come and save her from this conversation. "You are still the most alarming man I know." At that, unexpectedly, his expression gentled. Alarmingly.

    "And yet," he said quietly, "you said yes." The worst part was that he did not sound triumphant. Elizabeth could have endured triumph. She was prepared for self congratulation of heroic proportions. What she had not prepared for was this bewildered sort of hope, as though he genuinely could not believe she had chosen him. Which by anyone's estimations was an absurd notion. He was Fitzwilliam Darcy, after all. Filthy rich, handsome, absurdly well connected, and currently looking at her like she had personally invented happiness.

    In which Elizabeth accepts Darcy's first proposal in order to provide for her family. What begins as a simple business arrangement for Elizabeth quickly turns into an unexpected discovery of the truth of Darcy that lies beneath his arrogant exterior.

    Summary

    Water and Salt
    A Pride and Prejudice Dark Variation
    Second book in a duology — first installment: A Peculiar Offer

    Hiding in a remote corner of Cornwall had been the only way to escape him, their arrangement, and London gossip. A place to start over and build a future beneath a name not hers.
    Elizabeth knew it would not be easy. Or last.
    Especially if Darcy refuses to let go, certain he is entitled to have her back.
    The past is not always willing to stay buried.
    Some wounds heal. Others do not.

    This novel is a sequel, so readers are strongly advised to follow the publication order and read A Peculiar Offer first.

    Content Warning: Mature themes and explicit sexual scenes within a coercive arrangement. Intended for adult readers only (18+).
