NO GREATER LOVE
Darcy's sudden, passionate kiss sweeps Elizabeth into a bliss she has never known...but their love is short-lived. On a field of honor, Wickham, once again, engages in an irresponsible act, which leaves Darcy mortally wounded and Elizabeth broken. Refusing to leave Darcy's side, the last vestiges of her reputation are shattered, and when Elizabeth sees Darcy in his coffin, she is ruined in more ways than one. Devastated and without hope, reluctantly she agrees to accompany friends to Grenada, a Caribbean island on the brink of revolution.
Things are not what they seem. Darcy hasn't died, but Elizabeth is gone and he fears it is too late to recapture what he has lost. As he struggles to recuperate, he must put aside his pride and his heritage in order to find the only woman he will ever love. Never before has Darcy sacrificed so much for a passion he fought against so vehemently. And never before has Elizabeth’s strength of character been stronger - it is the only thing standing between her and an end that doesn't include Darcy.
Customer Reviews
Interesting nail-biter of a story
Not really like canon, the story picks up from where Lizzy & Darcy are engaged. While the characters mostly follow canon, both of ODC seem strangely gullible at times. But I suppose it can be explained by the situations they were in (pain, loss, & tiredness?).?
Be aware that there is discussion of rape and several times when attempted rape, actual rape & violence against women occurs.
These episodes among others make this quite an adventure story.
