Mr. Darcy likes to be in control…After a revealing midnight meeting in Netherfield's library, Lizzy can't keep her thoughts from Mr. Darcy. When her mother lies to her about Mr. Bennet's impending death to force her to marry Cousin Collins, she acts in hasty desperation and compromises Mr. Darcy with a kiss. He won't hear of her refusing his grudging proposal, both because he wants to preserve his honor and Georgiana's standing, and because he suspects Lizzy has certain tastes that will well-suit his own proclivities. That doesn't keep him from being angry that she viewed him only as a choice moderately preferable to Mr. Collins, and the resentment seems impossible to overcome. With his sister determined to dislike Lizzy and make her suffer for forcing him into marriage, and Fitzwilliam himself seemingly unable to forgive her, any attempt to be happy seems doomed. They entered marriage as adversaries, but can the passion growing between them help them find a new accord, or will Lizzy be forced to continue to for pay compromising Mr. Darcy? While Abbey sometimes writes sweet JAFF, this is strictly SENSUAL. It has mild scenes of a dominant nature.
