Publisher's Synopsis
Elizabeth's rejection of him had been excruciating, but that pain was nothing to the horrible realisation that she might be taken from him before his very eyes. In that terrible heartbeat, he had known what it was to truly lose her.
Still reeling from Mr Darcy's unexpected proposal in Kent, Elizabeth Bennet dearly wishes that she could start their acquaintance anew. Returning to London, she is desperate for a distraction, and turns her attention to her poor, lovelorn sister. An impulsive decision leads to disaster and Elizabeth finds herself unexpectedly under Mr Darcy's care. Can their time together be enough for her to learn the true depth of his character? Fitzwilliam Darcy wholeheartedly regrets asking for Elizabeth Bennet's hand in marriage. Unable to forget her, he withdraws from the world around him, certain that he will never see the lovely Miss Bennet again. In a twist of fate, they meet once more, but this time she is need of his assistance. Being around her at such close quarters is exquisite torment, but can he do enough to atone for his past rudeness? A Wound Deeper Than Pride is a second chance romance variation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
