Elizabeth Bennet has grown up away from the machinations of London and the Ton. She has cultivated a strong wit and even strong mind. While she is introduced to Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley, her extended family and their history were not. How will Darcy react when the woman he meets is so much more then she seems?
