In the Light of the Storm

A candlelit library.

A storm no one expected.

And two souls drawn together by words neither of them dares to speak.

When Elizabeth Bennet seeks refuge at Pemberley during a sudden thunderstorm, she stumbles into a private sanctuary and a conversation with a quiet, brooding stranger who mistakes her for someone who belongs there. What begins as a chance encounter in the flicker of firelight becomes something far more profound when she discovers the man is none other than Fitzwilliam Darcy, master of the estate and a man as guarded as he is compelling.

Bound by a shared reverence for books and the silence between them, Elizabeth and Darcy begin a correspondence that unfolds like a love letter neither of them planned to write. But as secrets come to light including the anonymous novel Elizabeth never meant anyone to read their fragile connection is tested by pride, past wounds, and the fear of being truly known.

Lyrical, slow-burning, and steeped in longing, In the Light of the Storm is a romantic reimagining of Pride and Prejudice where poetry is both language and lifeline and love is not declared in grand gestures, but found in the quietest corners.

Perfect for readers who believe the greatest love stories are the ones written between the lines.
