About this ebook
Pride and Prejudice lovers who enjoyed To Have His Cake (and Eat it Too) won't want to miss what happens next.
Having overcome the many seeming obstacles to marrying Miss Elizabeth Bennet, his former employee and the woman of his dreams, Fitzwilliam Darcy must now reaffirm his promise to be a man truly worthy of her affections.
Confronted, out of the blue, with the knowledge of her husband's past, Elizabeth, too, is obliged to reconsider long-held tenets that otherwise threaten to tear them apart.
Now that the honeymoon is over, will Darcy and Elizabeth's love survive the trials and tribulations that an unequal alliance will surely bring or will those who persist in separating them prevail?
What He Would Not Do: Mr. Darcy's Tale Continues ~ A Regency historical fiction adaptation of Jane Austen's timeless classic Pride and Prejudice.
