Fitzwilliam Darcy has fallen in love with a portrait... Following the sudden, though entirely expected, death of Anne de Bourgh, Mr. Darcy is freed to marry anyone he wishes. After a year spent searching, however, he grows weary of the endless parties and dinners, and decides to winter at his family's cottage in Scotland. There, he intends to read, eat simple food, and spend his evenings by a roaring fire in solitude. But he certainly never expected to find the woman of his dreams... When Darcy arrives at the cottage and discovers a new portrait hanging in the sitting room, he becomes enchanted by the painting's subject. What was meant to be a winter spent in quiet contemplation becomes a search for young lady who may just change the course of Fitzwilliam Darcy's life forever. A Portrait of Elizabeth is a Pride and Prejudice variation that is equal parts mysterious, romantic, and sweet, with a guaranteed happy ending!
