Hertfordshire, July 1812
Elizabeth Bennet has been kidnapped.
Fitzwilliam Darcy has one day left to find her.
He must save a woman he has never met.
Her captors demand £10,000 and give her father three days to pay. Two days are already gone. Mr Bennet possesses neither the money nor the influence to secure her return. His only hope lies in a letter written thirty years before—and in the nephew of the man who wrote it.
Fitzwilliam Darcy arrives at Longbourn expecting to settle an old debt of honour. Instead, he is drawn into a bargain with George Wickham and a second man whose grievance reaches far beyond money.
To save Elizabeth, Darcy must place himself in the hands of men who have every reason to despise him. Elizabeth, imprisoned and unable to see the stranger negotiating for her life, must decide whether his promises can be trusted.
As a buried scandal binds the Bennets, Darcys, and Fitzwilliams together, the ransom becomes something far more dangerous than an exchange of money.
Some debts pass through generations.
Men of honour do not leave them unpaid.
