Disillusioned by her parents' callous disregard of anyone else's comfort but their own, Elizabeth Bennet becomes a nurse and faces the adversities of war. Will she ever find love?
Seventeen years old Elizabeth cannot commit herself to a loveless marriage, one that her mother demands her to enter into, only to secure her own future as mistress of her husband's entailed estate. Jealous of his own tranquility, Mr. Bennet decides to temporarily separate the two ladies threatening it and to send his favourite daughter on a visit with her relatives in town. What he does not realise, is that deeply hurt by his abandonment, she is determined never to return to his house again.
News of his beloved cousin being severely wounded in battle makes Fitzwilliam Darcy rush to the Continent to ensure the safety of the man whom he loves like a brother. He was prepared to deal with the horrors of the war. What he was totally unprepared for, was to meet the most intriguing lady he had laid eyes on.
This is non canon a variation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, but the story can be enjoyed by all who like regency novels, whether they read the original story or not.
