Synopsis

Elizabeth Bennet, a spirited and quick-witted young woman of eighteen, finds herself instantly drawn to Fitzwilliam Darcy, a handsome gentleman of twenty-two from a wealthy family. Despite their initial attraction, the realities of their social and financial positions create a seemingly insurmountable divide. As a second son, Darcy's future is uncertain, while Elizabeth's family estate is entailed to a distant male cousin, leaving her with few prospects for a secure future.
Circumstance and obligation separate Elizabeth and Darcy. Darcy must return to Pemberley to manage the estate in his elder brother Drew's absence, as Drew grapples with personal challenges that threaten the family's stability. Meanwhile, Elizabeth remains at Longbourn, tending to her family and contemplating her own future as the arrival of the estate's heir brings new complications to her life. Despite the distance between them, Elizabeth and Darcy find their thoughts constantly drifting to one another.
Darcy's friend, Charles Bingley, a very young head of his family, is deeply attracted to Elizabeth's sister Jane, but not ready for marriage. While Elizabeth pines for Darcy, Jane and Bingley's love threatens to upend both the Bennet and Bingley families.
As they take responsibility for their families' needs while apart, Elizabeth and Darcy grow and are changed by the challenges they face. They learn to trust their own judgment and to stand firm in their beliefs, even as those around them seek to shape their destinies.
Elizabeth and Darcy must confront the depth of their feelings and the reality of their situation. They must determine whether their love is strong enough to overcome the obstacles that stand between them, or whether they will let each other go, forever wondering what might have been.
Discretion and Avarice is Elizabeth and Darcy's story, exploring the strength of the human spirit and the sacrifices we make for those we hold dear. Their journey is one of growth, resilience, and the unwavering belief that true love has the power to conquer even the most daunting of circumstances.
