Dedication and Devotion: A Pride and Prejudice Variation (Tall, Dark and Darcy)

Darcy is on a quest. His mission is to restore the impertinence and joy which used to dance in the fine eyes of Miss Elizabeth Bennet and had captured his heart, although his mind told him not to give in. To achieve his mission, he must find her missing sister. But where, in all the millions of acres —all the farms, hamlets, towns and cities that make England — could she be? Elizabeth Bennet is a gentlewoman. Society rules prevent her joining the search. But why would the arrogant and disdainful Mr. Darcy persist in the task? Each time he returns to her to share what he has found, she falls more and more under the spell of his dark eyes and intense expression. But he cannot be possibly doing this all for the love of her. As the weeks turn into months, it must mean he is doing all this for her sister, so Elizabeth must deny herself her own happiness and distance herself from the man who makes her heart beat faster: a stranger no longer. And must she sacrifice her chance at love and happiness if her sister is denied it? Dedication and Devotion is a standalone sweet and clean Regency Romance of more than 98,000 words
