Opis

Banished from her home at the age of seventeen for refusing a marriage proposal from an odious man, Elizabeth Bennet moves to London to live with her aunt and uncle Gardiner. Though fighting feelings of hopelessness, Elizabeth attempts to be happy. The persistence of her unwanted suitor, however, upsets the balance she has achieved with her relations, leaving her fearful for her future.
An introduction to Mr. Gardiner's new business partner allows Elizabeth to make a new acquaintance with a pleasant man and his family, bringing some much-needed variation to her colorless life. But when she is approached by a mysterious stranger who wishes to know more of her, Elizabeth can only allow herself to be caught up in the excitement of the moment and his apparent interest.
Unfortunately, her other suitor still lurks in the background, waiting for his chance to snare her. It soon becomes clear to Elizabeth that others see as interest, the reality is much more sinister, and takes all the appearance of an OBSESSION.

"Mr. Bennet, I insist upon being satisfied Your daughter has refused Mr. Pearce again, and we cannot allow such willful disobedience."
Mr. Darcy released a self-deprecating laugh. "I have indeed. I also rode along the street in the direction you walked, hoping to catch sight of you. I had almost despaired of seeing you again, but it appears all my attempts have been worthwhile, considering our meeting here today."
"You are mad, sir. I shall never go willingly with you, and you are senseless to think that Mr. Darcy will simply give me up."
