Vexed Affections: A Pride & Prejudice Intimate Variation: Domly Darcy, #1

By Temperance McGraw

Newly married, Elizabeth Bennet is now Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy, and though she might have found the very deepest love in his arms, there is still room for the old vexations of the past to rear their heads.

The early days of any marriage are spent in discovery, and Elizabeth and Darcy are no different. Though she might be married, nothing can tame Elizabeth's sharp tongue and sense of humor. Her husband is a stoic figure who craves order, control, and, to Elizabeth's surprise, submission.

Will Elizabeth be able to resist challenging her husband's commands, and what punishment might she suffer at his hands...

Vexed Affections is part one of four in a new sensual and steamy Pride and Prejudice variation that is best enjoyed by readers over 18 years of age.

With each sharp crow of satisfaction and boisterous laugh of glee that made its way to her corner of solace and assaulted her ears, Lizzie cringed.
