In 1836, a young lady of good family is expected to be accomplished, obedient and, above all, discreet. Unfortunately, Flora Louisa McGregor has never been particularly good at any of those things.
Headstrong, outspoken and fiercely independent, Mr Darcy’s Scottish niece has little patience for society’s rules. But when she publicly refuses a wealthy and determined suitor, Flora is sent south to Pemberley to learn how a proper young lady ought to behave.
Trouble, however, has a habit of finding Flora – as does Mr Daniel Kincaid, a serious and respectable English gentleman who seems to disapprove of almost everything she does. Their every encounter sparks disagreement, yet beneath the sharp words lies an attraction neither expected … and neither can ignore.
But suddenly a dangerous secret threatens the Darcy family with scandal, and Flora must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice to protect those she loves – even if the price is her own reputation … and the man who has captured her heart.
From the wild beauty of Scotland to Pemberley and the windswept estates of Northumberland, Flora continues the story of Jane Austen’s beloved families in a tale of clashing hearts, family secrets and a young woman determined to follow her own heart.
