Elizabeth is unprepared to be a clergyman’s wife.
Elizabeth Bennet is forced into marriage with her father’s heir to save her sisters and preserve her family home.

Now, Elizabeth must learn how to survive, and eventually reclaim herself, by developing new skills and cultivating unexpected friendships—or risk losing her spirit entirely.
Fitzwilliam Darcy has weathered disappointment and betrayal that has forced him away from his beloved Pemberley. He never expected his greatest trial to come in the form of a married woman who challenges his convictions and awakens his heart. As circumstances draw Elizabeth repeatedly into his path, Darcy strives to honor restraint and propriety despite growing attachment and an increasing desire to protect her from her husband. In the end, will she be the one to save him?
A Windmill with a View is a Regency-era Pride and Prejudice variation novel of approximately 100,000 words featuring a sweet, medium-angst romance centered on resilience, faith, and starting over. This story includes a previous unconsummated marriage for Elizabeth, Christian themes, verbal abuse by a narcissistic spouse, and character deaths (not the happy couple), but it ultimately delivers a well-earned happily ever after with Mr. Darcy. Please Note: At no time is either Darcy or Elizabeth unfaithful.
