When Elizabeth arrives in London for the social season, she befriends the sheltered Anne and introduces her to charming playwright Julian Gardiner. She doesn't expect to keep running into the insufferably proud Mr. Darcy-Anne's guardian, who disapproves of everything Elizabeth does. Yet as Anne blossoms under Julian's attention, something shifts between Elizabeth and Darcy.
His brooding disapproval becomes protective concern, his cutting remarks reveal unexpected wit, and those dark eyes now follow Elizabeth with inconvenient intensity.

With time running out, Elizabeth faces her most dangerous gamble yet: a desperate deception that will either save her dearest friend or destroy them all.
