After the death of their father and her sister reaching rock bottom, Lizzy moves away with her little sister to live with their aunt and uncle in hopes of a fresh start and coming to terms with their loss. Will Darcy, however, is going through a similar loss and having to care for his teenage sister, will E&D bond? Or will they get off on the wrong foot? THIS STORY IS COPYRIGHTED!

As suggested in the title of Jane Austen's original work, Darcy's greatest failing is pride. His passionate love for Elizabeth only mitigates this character flaw, resulting in the awful proposal at Hunsford. If happenstance forced Darcy to marry Elizabeth before he loved her, or even knew her at all, would he ever be able to get past his pride to recognise his fortune?
