“Unsent Letters” is a standalone novella that begins in Kent, at Rosings Park and continues in London. The story is part of the Hot Mush Series: a quick read, hot, low angst, focused on Elizabeth and Darcy. Fitzwilliam Darcy is tormented by an ardent love he cannot explain even to himself. A love that he must conceal, as he cannot possibly consider proposing to Miss Elizabeth Bennet - an extraordinary woman who stirs his mind and his senses, belonging to an ordinary family with questionable manners, no connections and with a situation so decidedly beneath his own. His feelings cannot be shared with any living soul, but cannot be repressed either. So what could the gentleman do, in order to keep his sanity? Write several letters to the lady of his heart, letters uncensored, unguarded, as they were not meant to be ever sent or seen by anyone. No names, no address, only pieces of his soul on paper. Mr. Darcy and Miss Elizabeth Bennet used to enjoy the same paths at Rosings Park and the same old oak. After they happened upon each other one day, they purposely avoided such awkward encounters, so they never met again in person, until fate intervened. After an early, solitary ride and time spent reading under the oak, while he mounted to return to Rosings, the book with the pile of letters fell from Darcy’s pocket. Elizabeth - fond of her morning walks, being sure there was nobody around - found them and, with astonishment, shock and disbelief, she read the last one. Mr. Darcy’s hasty return made Elizabeth throw the book back into the grass and hide behind the bushes, watching him as he searched for the infamous treasure in utter despair, before finding it and hiding it in his inner pocket then departing at a gallop. The discovery of Mr. Darcy’s true sentiments for her was a revelation that Elizabeth could hardly comprehend and accept. She had spent the last few months hating Mr. Darcy, holding him responsible for separating Bingley from Jane. Even more so, she had always been certain that he despised her, from that evening when he had called her tolerable and refused to dance with her. Now, her entire world was turned upside down. How will that piece of scandalous knowledge change the course of events and how will Elizabeth ever dare to face Mr. Darcy again?
