Suppose Elizabeth Bennet never visited Pemberley.... 

It is October of 1812. Elizabeth Bennet and her family have seen dramatic changes in the past few months - none of them welcome. Her sister Jane needs a fresh start, and Elizabeth is no less eager to leave behind the pain and confusion of not accepting Mr. Darcy’s proposal. 

Fitzwilliam Darcy has not seen Elizabeth since he offered for her - and she adamantly refused him. When she appears in London, he is determined to gain her friendship and make amends. When a carriage mishap throws them together, Darcy does all he can to demonstrate his changed behavior. 

Though their renewed acquaintance seems to be growing into a genuine friendship, a family secret constrains Elizabeth. As she falls deeper in love with the man she rejected, does she dare tell him the truth?
