A Quest for Mr Darcy

Struggling to overcome his rejection by Miss Elizabeth Bennet, Fitzwilliam Darcy decides to go travelling in the summer of 1812, keen to find distraction. He returns to England a year later, convinced he is over his foolish infatuation with the lady and with a plan, both to protect the estate of which he is guardian and to ensure his sister’s happiness: he intends to do his duty and secure a wife at the earliest opportunity.

Duty; a path from which Darcy knows he should never have been diverted. Duty was safe and nothing would persuade him from it a second time.

Soon restored to his home in Derbyshire, Darcy puts his quest in motion, preparing to welcome guests from Town, one of whom is a suitably eligible young lady he has earmarked as his future wife.

But what of the new tenants on the estate named Bennet? Is his path fated to cross with Elizabeth’s once more? Keeping his mind under good regulation and his quest intact is a far greater challenge than anticipated when Darcy discovers the truth of the matter.

With the addition of his friend, Bingley’s, mischievous twin younger sisters, mysterious letters from a stranger and a shadowy figure lurking in the grounds of Pemberley, Darcy’s carefully laid plans are soon in tatters as the rigid protection he has placed around his heart begins to falter.

Will the master of Pemberley be able to stay committed to duty, or will his heart win out?
