In Plain Sight

Elizabeth looked at but could not see him. Darcy's heart yearned, but knew he would never be worthy of her love.

Don Jacobson has created a moving tale that reimagines one of the most beloved romances ever! He carries the themes of pride, prejudice, and forgiveness through the text beautifully. An original tale laced with historical details. You'll love it! Elaine Owen, author of Duty Demands


After his father's death, brandy numbed Fitzwilliam Darcy's pain but left him rudderless. Tragedy soon ripped apart his world. Stripped of Pemberley, he would spend years searching for the salvation of a woman's love.

Elizabeth Bennet was afflicted with a common Regency ailment. She learned to observe the world but not see those beneath her notice. Her inability to ignore suffering, though, would shatter the propriety that denied her heart's desire: transcendent love.

In Plain Sight explores Jane Austen's classic love story by flipping social roles on their heads. This is a story of redemption, forgiveness, and second chances. From first encounter through flight and exile, a convict and a gentlewoman must overcome prejudice and break through pride. Only then could they share the glorious treasure hidden in plain sight-true love.

Notice: There is one scene of violence (a flogging) and another of implied violence that may cause discomfort for some readers.

A Kindle Customer in Australia says Brilliant!

This is, undoubtedly, one of the best I have read in this genre. In fact, there is only one other that I hold in such high esteem. The story gripped me from Page 1: I felt as if someone had reached into my chest and gripped my heart. No relief until the final words.


HW in the United Kingdom calls In Plain Sight Extraordinary

A high-octane ride into the very souls of ODC in a quite unique fashion, this tale works on so many levels, firstly as a rollicking tale of dire circumstances and dread intrigue, then as a redemption story (my favourite genre of all) and last but not least as a love story for all ages. Bravo Sir!


Huffer finds the book Powerful

The idea is truly original and imaginative, one that I've never encountered The story grabs you from the start, and never lets up. The book is populated with many characters that you can care about, which is one of the hallmarks of an enjoyable story. There is no shortage of drama, crisis, suspense, heartache, villainy, but also courage, determination, and romance. Mr. Jacobson is a master of lyrical prose, and every word is a beautiful gift. I wanted to read slowly so as to make sure that I not miss anything that he was describing.
