A gentleman cannot survive without his best friend…
Fitzwilliam Darcy and colonel Fitzwilliam couldn’t be
more different. Darcy is quiet and reserved, and carries the weight of his responsibilities on his shoulders. His affable and vivacious cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam is a confirmed bachelor whose military feats have made him a hero, and whose devil-may-care personality hides the torments within. Cousins, best friends, and sparring partners, Darcy and Fitzwilliam have always been there for each other.
Then life gets complicated, with unrequited love and unresolved deeds from the past raising their ugly heads, and family difficulties threatening even the most steadfast friendship. Will these two strong personalities find a way to align, or will the vicissitudes of life and love tear them in different directions and destroy the family they have always worked together to protect?
MY THOUGHTS:
- A new author! YAY!
- I love Colonel Fitzwilliam and I love that he is one of the main characters of this novel!
- A bromance novel about Darcy and Fitzwilliam is very unique and could be very interesting.
- Sounds like there will be some intriguing conflicts in this one; I can’t wait to learn more about the “unrequited love” and “unresolved deeds from the past.”
- Once again, the cover is absolutely gorgeous! I love all the greenery!
What are your thoughts?

Omg, I want this book;
I read Karen’s short story, The Battle of Toulouse, on AHA, and it was excellent. I’ve already ordered my copy of her book.
Thank you for the kind words! I think of Darcy and Fitzwilliam as one of the overlooked buddy partnerships in history. A sort of Regency Butch and Sundance. I hope you enjoy reading the book as much as I enjoyed writing it!
I too am looking forward to reading this. I absolutely adore Col. Fitzwilliam. I think he has great potential. I can hardly wait. The excitement never ends.
Col. Fitzwilliam was always one of my favorite minor characters in JA P and P. I look forward to reading this book.
This book’s cover is so attractive, and the story sounds wonderful. Thanks for the write-up!
Will it be available on the Nook? It looks like a great book.
Yes, I am told by the publisher that it will be available on the Nook. Thanks for the interest.
Thanks for the info. I am addicted to the nook and all my JA fan fiction but not all of it is available in that format.
I just was reading about this book today and added it to my Amazon shopping cart. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it, Meredith!
