Mr. Darcy’s Vow: A Pride and Prejudice Story by Timothy Underwood

Mr. Darcy’s father had been reckless, self indulgent, and extravagant in Mr. Darcy’s Vow: A Pride and Prejudice Story by Timothy Underwood.

Shortly before he died he had sold part of the ancient holdings and left the estate with vast debts. When it seemed that his Darcy’s years of ceaseless effort to pay off those debts were finally achieving success, Georgiana eloped with Wickham, and Darcy needed to borrow thirty thousand pounds to pay for her dowry.

The only way he could avoid selling off more of the estate was if he married an heiress. Maybe Caroline Bingley would do.

But Mr. Darcy thought Elizabeth Bennet was perfect. She was beautiful and clever, wise, and sweet. And she loved him as much as he loved her. But Darcy had vowed that he would be nothing like his wastrel father. If he ever sold off more land, that would prove that he was no better than his father had been.

No matter how it would tear at both their hearts, his duty demanded that he marry a rich woman…
