Elizabeth Bennet is now Mrs. Darcy, but she has yet to become the mistress of Pemberley.
Darcy is so confident in his wife's abilities that he is headed to London to complete some business while she and his sister remain in Derbyshire. On his journey to town, he is besieged by wet weather and troubled by a missive from his cousin Richard Fitzwilliam that requests help fulfilling a mysterious mission.
Thank heavens Elizabeth is safe back home.
But Elizabeth is facing storms of her own. Not long after her husband leaves for town, there is an influenza outbreak that threatens both Pemberley's tenants and those at the great house. When the steward flees and the doctor is nowhere to be found, she must make an unconventional decision to keep everyone alive.
As she finds the courage to meet each new challenge, Elizabeth will either step fully into the role of Pemberley’s mistress—or die trying.
