Synopsis

FITZWILLIAM DARCY WAS meant to arrive at Pemberley as a husband. Instead, he was carried from the wreckage of a shattered carriage, a crash that stole his bride, his future, and very nearly his will to live. TWO YEARS LATER, the master of Pemberley lives in silence, confined to a Bath chair. When duty brings him to Netherfield, he wears his grief like armour, cold and sharp enough to wound anyone who dares approach. ELIZABETH BENNETH SEES WHAT others do not. Beneath the scowl and cutting words is not arrogance but a man buried under guilt and loss. She does not pity him, and she does not retreat. She challenges him, unsettles him, and refuses to let him disappear into bitterness. But the accident that shattered his world was no simple misfortune, and as long-buried truths begin to surface, Darcy must decide whether he will remain imprisoned by grief or risk his heart and his future for the chance to stand again. BEYOND HIS PRIDE is a deeply emotional Pride and Prejudice variation about loss, redemption, and the courage to choose life after devastation, with a tender and hard-won happily ever after. Perfect for fans of Regency romance, enemies to lovers, and Jane Austen-inspired fiction with a happily ever after.
