Summary

His only job is to protect her. But first, he has to keep track of her.

When Elizabeth Montclair’s privileged world shatters after witnessing a crime that could topple the crown, she vanishes into the quiet countryside, hiding in plain sight with the unsuspecting Bennet family. Her sharp tongue and quick wit make her impossible to ignore—and even harder to protect.

Fitzwilliam Darcy has one job: keep the fiery, reckless heiress alive. The prince regent’s promise to restore Pemberley to him, the rightful owner, hinges on his success, but there’s one problem—Elizabeth "Bennet" refuses to be kept. As danger closes in, Darcy’s careful plans unravel, and his heart becomes a casualty of the mission he swore would be strictly business.

Secrets, lies, and simmering tension collide in this high-stakes Regency romance where trust is the deadliest game of all.

I liked the storyline of the wealth and status swapping . I loved the subtle flirting throughout. All the original characters were well represented and even more likeable I would say. The ending is very satisfying I will definitely listen again.
