Mr. Darcy had a general air of command that made it impossible for Elizabeth to consider him as an unfortunate cripple, no matter how much he met the plain definition of the word.

When Fitzwilliam Darcy visited his friend Bingley at Netherfield, he was delighted to meet Elizabeth Bennet. However, he would not marry beneath himself. The lost use of his legs changed nothing in that regard. But… Darcy loved to speak with Elizabeth.

Elizabeth enjoyed her verbal sparring with Mr. Darcy. He deserved none of the pity others thought he did. He was too determined and too capable. When tragedy strikes, Elizabeth finds herself depending upon the gentleman who had become her dearest friend.

As Elizabeth came to love Mr. Darcy, his pride, arrogance, and disdain for the feelings of others may tear them apart. Can he learn how to treat a woman well worth admiring before it is too late?

A touching variation that will bring both laughter and tears. From the author of Escaping Shadows, The Cost of a Kiss, and Colonel Darcy

No character deaths but a character (besides Darcy, whose illness is a year past at the start of the novel) will become severely ill and suffer a permanent disability
