In love with his brother's betrothed...
As far as Fitzwilliam Darcy is concerned, the only good thing to come of Elizabeth Bennet’s bitter refusal of his heart and his hand was his new resolve to prove himself a better man. He’d done it, too, by closing the painful distance between himself and his estranged younger brother, Drew. And now Drew is newly engaged to be married…to Elizabeth Bennet.
Family duty forces Darcy to support the engagement, especially since even the smallest hint of disapproval could ruin the brothers’ hard-won reconciliation. But how can he bear to watch his brother marry the woman he loves? To see her in Drew’s arms, bearing Drew’s children, and forever out of his reach?
An Accidental Compromise...
Elizabeth has no choice but to accept an engagement to handsome Drew Darcy. He’s amiable, educated, and respectable, and if it weren’t for his last name, she wouldn’t even mind the idea. But to marry the brother of the gentleman she’d so coldly rejected only months before? Especially now that she realizes her feelings for him are far from sisterly. How can she marry Drew while longing for his brother? But the cost of breaking her engagement would be ruination, and with it, the loss of any hope of a life with Darcy.
Trapped by loyalty, love, and propriety, there is no way out. But old family secrets haunt the two Darcy brothers. Could those secrets, when brought out in the open, change everything?
This intensely emotional variation on Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice will make you fall in love with Elizabeth and Darcy all over again.

Book Review:
The story begins three months after Elizabeth refuses Darcy’s proposal. We learn Darcy has an estranged younger brother, Andrew, who has recently accepted the living at Kympton after Darcy offers it. Just as Darcy is hoping to now repair their relationship and bring him back into the family fold, he receives the shock of his life. Andrew is engaged—to Elizabeth of all people! Ohhh the angst!
Rather than make Andrew a villain, Ms. Reynolds has made him a good man. He is handsome and educated. We can’t hate him. There is someone we can hate, however, and his name is Wickham. He has a direct role early on, but thankfully, isn’t in the entirety of the story.
This book is an emotional ride. There definitely is angst throughout, but because the author promised her readers a happy ending (benefit of being a Austen Variations member, wink, wink) I wasn’t completely losing my stomach—or my mind—over the ordeal. Darcy’s anguish for his lost love will bring you to tears, as will Elizabeth, as she sees no hope for resolution to a forced marriage to a man she doesn’t love—imagining herself forever in the path of the one man she now wished she could have because he will be family—her brother. If she breaks the engagement, she will be ruined and so will her family and sisters’ prospects.
There are also some Darcy secrets to be discovered, which places an intriguing twist into the storyline, as Lady Anne makes her presence known, even from the grave. Her love story having similarities to the plight of our dearest couple.
How, oh how will this ever be resolved? Ms. Reynolds has gifted us with another very well written, captivating and romantic page turner. It is an absolute must read I definitely recommend! Enjoy it, fellow readers. I’m off to adjust my 2020 top ten Austen variations. Bravo Abigail Reynolds!
Ohhh, I almost forgot. I must say— this book screams for (at a minimum) a novella-type sequel of the voyage, beginning with the wedding night!
Un-put-downable!
