   Summary

   Water and Salt
   A Pride and Prejudice Dark Variation
   Second book in a duology — first installment: A Peculiar Offer

   Hiding in a remote corner of Cornwall had been the only way to escape him, their arrangement, and London gossip. A place to start over and build a future beneath a name not hers.
   Elizabeth knew it would not be easy. Or last.
   Especially if Darcy refuses to let go, certain he is entitled to have her back.
   The past is not always willing to stay buried.
   Some wounds heal. Others do not.

   This novel is a sequel, so readers are strongly advised to follow the publication order and read A Peculiar Offer first.

   Content Warning: Mature themes and explicit sexual scenes within a coercive arrangement. Intended for adult readers only (18+).
