Darcy struggles with how to pay the creditors and put right the wrongs done by his brother. Must he marry a wealthy heiress?
Elizabeth did not realize how depraved a man could be, and she worries that Darcy could share some of his brother’s tendencies. They have known each other such a short time, but her heart cares not. Can they conquer their fears to be joined in marriage?
