Publisher's Synopsis
Is Mr Darcy capable of wanting to marry just for the sake of love?
AN UNEXPECTED MEETING between Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet becomes suddenly and shockingly dangerous. Mr Darcy is determined to protect Elizabeth but his exertions leave him grievously wounded. Sheltering with him in a shepherd's hut, Elizabeth tends to Darcy's injuries while trying to suppress her concern about the impropriety of her circumstances, as well as the fever-induced proposal that results.
WHILE THEY SURVIVE the imminent threat, others at Rosings do not, altering the fates of their friends and relations. The connexion between them seems to have thus come to an end. Elizabeth's emotions, enflamed by the forced intimacy in the shepherd's hut, are aggravated when Darcy-now healing from his injuries-arrives to make good on his proposal. What woman wants an offer of marriage made in service to her reputation rather than to romantic love? Or was there love there all along?
An Excellent Walker is a Pride and Prejudice variation.
