Jane Austen Fan Fiction

The Heart of Marriage

The candles are lit, the family is gathered, and everything is about to change. Elizabeth Darcy should be spending this winter in quiet joy - mistress of Pemberley, her first child on the way. Instead she finds her new family besieged from every side: by scandal, by old grudges, and by an enemy too powerful to face and too quiet to name. As the snow closes the roads and the great house fills with those she loves, Elizabeth must discover where her true strength lies - because the cost of the Darcy name is about to come due, and someone will have to be strong enough to pay it.
