Darcy, the Admiral

Mr. Darcy, senior, has his heir — and a spare. No need to waste a gentleman’s education on the third son. Packed off to sea at the age of twelve, young Fitzwilliam Darcy discovers three things.

The youngest Darcy boy discovers a love for life at sea. His talent for anticipating what’s going to happen leads to rapid promotion. He also discovers that sailors and naval officers see women only rarely.

Rescued from a sudden storm, soaked to the skin, and her gown clinging to the contours of her body, Elizabeth Bennet unwittingly causes a storm of emotion in a man starved of female company.

Darcy must get her off his ship. He must discover if his feelings for the extraordinary Miss Bennet are here to stay. Then, when disaster strikes the Darcy family, he must prevent it causing the loss of all he’s dreamed of.

Can each discover their love? And will the shocking circumstances of their lives help, or hinder, the passage to a truly happy ending?

Darcy, the Investigator

Secrets and lies
Lies and secrets

Darcy enjoys the days he can don the mantle of his secret identity, searching out ways to help those who seek his assistance.

He can be kind and understanding, warm and compassionate, bringing relief or justice to those who have nowhere else to turn.

He is determined no one will ever know he is really the proud and disdainful Mr. Darcy.

The Bennet family is ruined. Elizabeth will not give in when others fail to find her youngest sister. Of necessity, her solution is unorthodox and secretive — she will pay the price, whatever it might be.

But her acute observation uncovers Mr. Darcy’s secret, even as he discovers hers.

She must hide her knowledge from him if he is to continue his attempt to lift the family’s ruin. And can she ever repay him?

Darcy wants to reveal his secret to her. But he wants Miss Elizabeth’s love, not her gratitude or obligation.

How can they untangle the web of lies and begin to trust each other?

Circumstances have driven her to desperation. However, a handsome aristocrat always seems to be there. But she knows his family will ensure she cannot be found. What’s going to happen to her?
