Elizabeth Bennet did not come to Rosings to understand Mr. Darcy. She came to visit Charlotte, endure Mr. Collins, and survive Lady Catherine de Bourgh with as much wit as civility allows. Mr. Darcy’s arrival at the parsonage should change nothing. Their conversations have already become too particular, their silences too full, and the road between them far too dangerous. Then a walk before Rosings places them where neither drawing-room manners nor Lady Catherine’s opinions can easily interfere. Elizabeth has questions she has tried not to ask. Mr. Darcy has explanations he has avoided ...

I’ve spent eleven years making sure other women get the perfect day...Then I discovered seventy-one thousand dollars missing from a client's trust account. Five families. Five weddings. And five forged authorizations carrying my signature. If this destroys my license, it destroys everything I built. So I served my husband with divorce papers and flew to the Amalfi Coast.

My husband told one woman I was dead. In a town this small, that was never going to stay buried. I drive Route 9. I know who’s getting divorced, whose kid got suspended, who’s sick, and who’s pretending not to be. So when I offered my old cancer wig to a young woman on my route and discovered it missing, I started asking questions. Jason said he donated it. The cancer society had never heard of us, but the salon had. They also had a return slip signed by my husband, a story about my death, and eighteen hundred and fifty dollars in store credit he’d already started spending. On ...

The trail descends through old-growth pine, the air sharp with resin and cold.
