A finer punishment does not exist than if I were to accept him.
Elizabeth Bennet—shocked, dismayed, and emotional following Mr Darcy’s offensive proposal in Hunsford parsonage—makes a flippant remark to her friend Charlotte Collins. She observes that, given Mr Darcy’s disdain for her family, accepting him would be the worst punishment imaginable for him, for then he would be forever connected to the very people he so despised. She speaks in jest…but Mrs Collins fears she might be serious.

Mr Darcy leaves Hunsford parsonage following his proposal feeling a measure of joy at his beloved’s acceptance of his proposal. Alas, his news is received less than joyously at Rosings Park and he fears Elizabeth might be in some danger. With the help of his cousin, he hurries her out of Kent and to the safety of her relations in London.

Caught in a grave misunderstanding, whereby Mr Darcy thinks she has accepted him, Elizabeth soon finds that Mr Darcy is a vastly different man than she had previously understood him to be. A man that she likes…a man that she might perhaps come to love.

As the days of happy courtship pass in London, the secret of how she really felt the night of his proposal lingers. When the truth comes out, Mr Darcy feels he has been made an object of ridicule, and Elizabeth fears she might have lost him for good.

An Offer of Marriage is a forced marriage, enemies to lovers to enemies and then back to lovers again, closed door regency romance.
