Fitzwilliam Darcy has written the perfect proposal … and Elizabeth Bennet has rejected him.

Darcy never imagined his carefully chosen words could be so catastrophically wrong. But Miss Elizabeth Bennet’s sharp refusal — and sharper reasons — has left him reeling. His pride is wounded. His certainty is shattered. And for the first time in his life, he suspects the fault might be entirely his own.

Elizabeth never expected to see him again. Yet when Darcy returns to her at Hunsford — humbler, more attentive, and frustratingly improved — she discovers that the arrogant master of Pemberley may have been hiding a far more dangerous temptation: the man he could truly become.

As a meddling colonel, a dangerous secret about Wickham, and the looming shadow of Lady Catherine threaten to end everything before it has begun, two proud, wounded hearts must decide whether a second chance is worth the risk of being wrong again.

Ink and Arrogance is a quick-read Regency romance of about 15,500 words — a story of a proud hero humbled, a failed proposal that refuses to be the last word, and the slow, irresistible pull of enemies to lovers finding their way to each other. Perfect for when you’re craving a Darcy and Elizabeth second-chance romance, but only have a little time.
