What Lingers In the Heart — Allison Smith

Darcy rescues Elizabeth, forcing them to wed in this Pride & Prejudice Variation.

Five years ago, Darcy prevented Lizzy from eloping with their mutual childhood friend Wickham. Heartbroken and infuriated, Elizabeth never forgave the interference, especially because it caused the banishment of her family from Derbyshire to Longbourn.

Now Wickham is back, as devilish and handsome as ever, ready to coax Lizzy into yet another mad scheme. This time when Darcy intervenes, it will not be just to save Lizzy from herself…but to claim as mistress of Pemberley the woman he has always considered his .

What Lingers In the Heart is a Pride and Prejudice Sweet Variation reimagining ODC as childhood friends to enemies, and finally, to wedded lovers. For readers who enjoy clean and wholesome romance, compromising situations, forced marriage, and plenty of sparks between a protective, commanding Darcy and a tart, defiant Elizabeth.
