BEAUTY FROM ASHES
DARCY'S HOPE ~
A WW1 Pride & Prejudice Variation
Heartbroken. Devastated.
WW1 Captain Fitzwilliam Darcy was rejected by the woman he loved and left grief-stricken over the loss of his men. “Enough!” Darcy vows, “No more sentimental entanglements. No comrades, no dog, and certainly no woman!”
But a covert assignment at a chateau-turned-field-hospital brings him face to face with his beloved Elizabeth—who's working with a dashing American doctor and embroiled in the conspiracy he's been sent to investigate.
Working side-by-side with her, Darcy is forced to examine his own heart and grapple with his feelings for her while searching for the traitors.
When a near-miraculous incident shatters the ice encasing his heart, he can only think of winning Elizabeth back. Will he be able to prove her innocence and build a lasting bridge with her before she's condemned to a traitor's noose?
Darcy can only hope….
