Disarmed: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
Jo Abbott

When a storm forces an unwelcome encounter with someone he deems entirely beneath his notice, Darcy discovers that his most carefully guarded secrets are no match for the unexpected perceptiveness of his companion—someone who sees through his defences with startling clarity, leaving him more vulnerable than he has ever been. Yet this same encounter may hold the key to everything he desires.
As old grievances reappear and hidden truths emerge, Darcy must choose between the armour of pride that has always protected him and the risk of exposing his heart completely. But he is not the only one whose mask is slipping. Charm can be the most dangerous weapon of all—until it is stripped away entirely.
Sometimes being disarmed is the only way to win the battle.
Disarmed is a Pride and Prejudice variation of appropriately 40,000 words. It is a low-angst story and suitable for all audiences.
