Speechless

If leaving this place meant never seeing her again, he wished the snow would never melt. Let it be winter forever.

COULD ANYTHING BE WORSE than to be trapped in a confined space with the woman you love, unable to speak to her?

Fitzwilliam Darcy knows his duty, and it does not involve succumbing to his fascination for a certain dark-eyed beauty from an unheard of family from Longbourn in Hertfordshire. He has run away from Elizabeth Bennet once already, yet fate has a wicked sense of humour and deals him a blow that not only throws him back into her path but quite literally puts him at her mercy.

Stranded together at a remote inn, with Darcy's injuries precluding speech, Darcy and Elizabeth are forced to overcome their misunderstandings of one another by novel methods. Darcy quickly recognises he is unable conquer his feelings, but can he make himself better understood without the ability to speak?

SPEECHLESS is a Pride & Prejudice variation.
