Four days of rain. One unwanted stay. One chessboard that turned into a courtship.
When rain stranded her at Netherfield Park to nurse Jane, Elizabeth braced for boredom, barbed smiles, and Mr. Darcy's distant civility.
Instead, she discovered a chessboard laid out for battle.
Never one to refuse a challenge, Elizabeth accepts.
Visit after visit, her unseen opponent answers her moves with unnerving skill, and their silent duel becomes the best part of her day.
Then she discovers the truth.
Her mysterious adversary is Fitzwilliam Darcy himself, the very man who once called her "not handsome enough to tempt" him. All along he's been quietly courting her mind.
Mr. Collins grows bolder. Lady Catherine arrives issuing commands. One insists Elizabeth accept him. The other insists she reject Darcy.
Darcy offers the one thing Elizabeth has always wanted, to be chosen for who she is.
On this board, one wrong move could cost Elizabeth everything.
One right move could capture Mr. Darcy.
To Capture Mr. Darcy is a sweet JAFF Pride and Prejudice variation packed with Darcy and Elizabeth, Netherfield forced proximity, chess, quiet longing, and Our Dear Couple fighting for each other one move at a time.
