When Elizabeth Bennet vanishes without a trace from the library at Rosings Park, Fitzwilliam Darcy feels duty-bound to find her-even if she is the most frustrating woman of his acquaintance.
What he doesn't expect is to become trapped alongside her in a hidden passageway, with no immediate escape and nothing but hours of forced honesty stretching before them.
In the intimate confines of their stone prison, masks crumble and defenses fall. Elizabeth discovers that Darcy's pride conceals profound vulnerability. Darcy learns that her sharp wit guards a tender heart capable of understanding his deepest fears. Layer by layer, they reveal themselves to each other until pretense becomes impossible and truth is all that remains.
By the time rescue comes, everything has changed. The man Elizabeth thought she despised has become someone she cannot imagine losing. The woman Darcy believed he could never have has found her way into his heart.
A sweet, emotionally rich Pride & Prejudice novella about two people who had to get lost together to find their way to love. Perfect for readers who cherish forced-proximity romance, emotional vulnerability, character depth, and happy endings earned through honest connection.
