Where the Waters Agree by Susan Adriani

He ached from just looking at her. From wanting her. And from wanting to tell her—again and again—that she was the very best thing that had ever happened to him.
EVERMORE ON SEA IS NOT BRIGHTON. There are no horse races, no balls or parties held every other night, and no red-coated officers to provoke the two youngest Bennet sisters into behaviour that would embarrass themselves and their family, which is precisely why Elizabeth Bennet believes Mr Bennet sent his wife and daughters there when her mother had pestered him for a seaside holiday.

WHILE MRS BENNET FINDS THE VILLAGE much more to her liking than the seaside itself, Elizabeth finds solace and pleasure amongst the sandy strands and grassy bluffs of the coast, which are very different than the woods and fields of Hertfordshire. It is atop one of those picturesque bluffs that she unexpectedly comes face to face with Mr Darcy.

MR FITZWILLIAM DARCY HAS COME TO EVERMORE ON SEA to find clarity. Instead, he unexpectedly meets Elizabeth Bennet, who has only ever provoked him, confused him, and broken his heart. Now, after making amends, she has offered him her friendship. Friendship, however, is the last thing Mr Darcy wants from the woman he loves but he accepts in any case, hoping to show her he has taken her reproofs to heart and changed for the better.
