Darcy misses Elizabeth dreadfully, but following her to Longbourn is impossible-the house is packed with nearly every Bennet and Bennet relation living-so he joins his friend Charles Bingley at Netherfield Park, where the two abandoned husbands soon suspect their father-in-law has exaggerated his illness in order to secure the attentions of his two eldest daughters. Elizabeth has always enjoyed being her papa's favorite, but whose Elizabeth is she really? And how can she give herself utterly to a man who keeps secrets from her-even if he is her husband?

As the days pass while they await rescue, the undeniable attraction between them becomes overwhelming, leading them both to act. Even as Lizzy succumbs to the temptation and falls for Darcy, she wonders if he is indeed the last man she would ever marry, or if she has been fooling herself about the strength of her emotions all along? While Abbey sometimes writes sweet JAFF, this is strictly SENSUAL.
