In his wife, Mrs Elizabeth Darcy, Fitzwilliam Darcy finally found his counterpart: a woman who would challenge and excite him, a partner he could respect, and someone he could share his life with. But what if there had been other women before Elizabeth? Women who had not shared Darcy's life, but his bed. What if one had a secret that threatened to devastate all he hoped for in his new life with Elizabeth? With secrets to maintain, and secrets to uncover, will the Darcys' love be strong enough to survive the truths that must eventually emerge, or will early doubts and dilemmas destroy all that has so far been fought for and won?
