About this listen

Bound by duty; saved by love.

When tragedy leaves Fitzwilliam Darcy clinging to life, Elizabeth Bennet sacrifices her dreams to repay the debt owed to her family's damaged savior. But can her compassion penetrate his bitter heart and spark hope again?

Beneath Darcy’s aloof bitterness smolders a broken, vulnerable man stripped of his mobility and purpose. While Elizabeth grapples with this unexpected fate—a marriage of convenience that is proving to be decidedly inconvenient—they discover that they might just be more alike than they are different. As mutual dependence awakens a deep, trusting affection between two defiant hearts, can their blossoming care withstand not only Darcy’s demons, but pressure from a society still expecting them to produce an heir?

What fates decree as a marriage of cold duty has the power to transform two contrary souls and lead them to discover the truest liberation—of laughter and joy; partnership and understanding. And above all, the freedom found when true minds and hearts decide to throw off their armor for one another.

A Full Measure

I loved this story on the first reading. The level of angst was acceptable to me because ODC is united through it. The interaction and relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth are so deep and soulful. The writing is so precise and inspires such emotion that I found myself fully immersed and empathetic to ODC's struggles. Stevie Zimmerman's performance is excellent and elucidates the many layers of emotions of the characters.

Great Love Story, Great reading!

Thank you Alix for this story, I love this journey of ODC. It is interesting to see Darcy in a venerable position and Lizzy in taking the 'lead' on things. I love the Colonel's character and how he assist ODC. As for GW...he is a villain to the end. Thanks Stevie for bringing this story alive, as is your norm, bringing these characters alive from the pages is a great talent. Thank you. C
