The Measure of Love

Bound by duty; saved by love.When tragedy leaves Fitzwilliam Darcy clinging to life, Elizabeth Bennet sacrifices her dreams to repay the debt owed to her family's damaged savior. But can her compassion penetrate his bitter heart and spark hope again?Beneath Darcy's aloof bitterness smoulders a broken, vulnerable man stripped of his mobility and purpose. While Elizabeth grapples with this unexpected fate-a marriage of convenience that is proving to be decidedly inconvenient-they discover that they might just be more alike than they are different. As mutual dependence awakens a deep, trusting affection between two defiant hearts, can their blossoming care withstand not only Darcy's demons, but pressure from a society still expecting them to produce an heir?

What fates decree as a marriage of cold duty has the power to transform two contrary souls and lead them to discover the truest liberation-of laughter and joy; partnership and understanding. And above all, the freedom found when true minds and hearts decide to throw off their armour for one another.
