But as the days pass, Will's chance encounters with the bright-eyed, pretty young woman-and Jack's insistence on befriending her-cause Will to see Elizabeth, and himself, in a different light.But as they draw closer and take tentative steps toward something more than friendship, will they be able to step outside the shadows of their pasts?***Sanctuary is a modern variation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, bringing the characters of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, and their fabled love story, into the twenty-first century.
