An Arranged Marriage by Jan Hahn

Lizzy agrees and heads off with Mr. Darcy and she is greatly uncomfortable with her new husband she barely knows except to hate. The story follows Elizabeth and Darcy as the misunderstand each other until Elizabeth finally acknowledges her deep feelings of love for Darcy.
