Summer Storm of the Heart

A Pride & Prejudice Summer Novella

By: Mary Ashbourne

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When Elizabeth Bennet is caught on the road during a violent August storm, she takes refuge at a small coaching inn, only to discover that Mr. Darcy has been forced there by the same tempest. With every chamber already taken, they have no choice but to share the last room available.
Determined to protect her reputation, Darcy keeps a careful distance through the long night. But when George Wickham arrives at the inn and witnesses the arrangement, whispers begin before the storm has even passed.
By morning, Meryton is already buzzing with speculation.
Now Darcy must defend Elizabeth publicly while Elizabeth struggles with the growing realization that the proud gentleman she once believed she understood may possess far greater honour, and far deeper feelings, than she ever imagined.
As gossip spreads and misunderstandings are laid bare, Elizabeth and Darcy must decide whether the storm that threatened her reputation might instead lead them to a future neither expected.
Sometimes the most troublesome weather clears the air.
