Book Description
Having seriously believed that she was destined to become a spinster, Elizabeth Bennet finds herself married to one of the most eligible bachelors in Derbyshire. She now faces the daunting task of assuming her place within the vast and prestigious family estate of Pemberley. A few ill-disposed individuals would delight to see her fail so there is little room for error as she learns to lead her new household. Darcy is at her side, of course, but he cannot shelter her entirely as gossiping tongues follow her every move. She must navigate the isolation she feels as a stranger in this new setting and learn how to honour her new responsibilities while the lingering presence of her late mother-in-law, Lady Anne, to whom she is always compared, hangs over her. Thankfully, Elizabeth is resourceful. One day, she will triumph over even her harshest critics and prove herself worthy as mistress of Pemberley.

Pages : 436
Book Description
Lizzy and Darcy meet first in Meryton and rub each other the wrong way. If not for a series of thefts requiring someone to solve the mystery, they would likely never find an accord. Working together has the unexpected effect of bringing them a new understanding, and when they thwart a kidnapping, she thinks they might have a chance at friendship and perhaps more. Then Darcy and the Netherfield party depart without word or explanation, leaving Jane (and possibly Lizzy) heartbroken. When she sees Darcy again in Hunsford, she?s not sure she can forgive him even as they work together to apprehend a blackmailer. They part with animosity but are reunited in London, finding themselves at the center of a murder investigation. When that brings them closer again, Lizzy accepts an invitation to Pemberley for Darcy to properly court her. Things seem to be going well, even with Lizzy?s mother in attendance, but murder once again threatens to derail their burgeoning romance, and it also brings the return of an old Darcy nemesis.

The Bad Miss Bennet

Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1639360859
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Picking up where Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice left off, The Bad Miss Bennet takes readers on a wild Regency romp with Lydia Wickham, née Bennet, who finds herself in dire need of a new husband. Lydia was never the most upstanding of the Bennet sisters, but who ever said that moral rectitude was fun? Mr Wickham turned out to be a disappointing husband in many aspects, the most notable of which being his early demise on the battlefields of Waterloo. And so Lydia Wickham, née Bennet, not yet twenty and full of enterprising spirit, is in urgent need of a wealthy replacement. A lesser woman, without Lydia’s natural ability to flirt uproariously on the dance floor and cheat seamlessly at the card table, would swoon in the wake of a dashing highwayman, a corrupt banker, and even an amorous Prince Regent. But on the hunt for a marriage that will make her rich, there’s nothing that Lydia won’t turn her hand to. While Mrs Wickham rattles around the continent from Paris to Venice and to the home of the disgraced Princess of Wales in Italy, you, dear reader, will be greatly diverted.

Publisher: Scholastic Inc.

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
From the much-buzzed-about author of THE LONELY HEARTS CLUB (already blurbed by Stephenie Meyer, Lauren Myracle, and Jen Calonita), a prom-season delight of Jane Austen proportions.It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single girl of high standing at Longbourn Academy must be in want of a prom date. After winter break, the girls at the very prestigious Longbourn Academy become obsessed with the prom. Lizzie Bennet, who attends Longbourn on a scholarship, isn't interested in designer dresses and expensive shoes, but her best friend, Jane, might be - especially now that Charles Bingley is back from a semester in London. Lizzie is happy about her friend's burgeoning romance but less than impressed by Charles's friend, Will Darcy, who's snobby and pretentious. Darcy doesn't seem to like Lizzie either, but she assumes it's because her family doesn't have money. Clearly, Will Darcy is a pompous jerk - so why does Lizzie find herself drawn to him anyway?

Book Description
No Such Thing as Luck: The only woman John Thornton ever loved has gone to London and forgotten all about him. Aching for what he lost, he doesn't have time to grieve because his cotton mill is on the brink of financial collapse. Margaret Hale has thrown away her only chance at love. She longs for what might have been, and wishes more than anything for one more chance to see John Thornton. When a coincidence brings them back together and an accident forces them to depend upon one another, will they learn the path to true love is more than luck? Northern Rain: Margaret Hale never even considered John Thornton's rash proposal of marriage before rejecting it. Now, she has had time to consider, and to regret. But it's impossible to reconcile when he avoids her at all costs. A chance encounter when he is most in need of a friend might just shatter the misunderstandings that have kept them apart. Is friendship even possible after all they've been through? And when John has to weigh the future of the mill against the hope of a future with Margaret, will love win? Nowhere but North: Haunted by sorrow and regret, Margaret Hale has lost everything. She risks the little she has left on the heart she once shattered—hoping somehow to win back his respect, if not his love. Since he was a boy, John Thornton has fought the consequences of his father’s mistakes. Resolved to overcome past failings and the disdain of the world, he has striven for wealth, respect, and personal honour, but he is denied love. Now, all he had previously gained is slipping away, but he cannot resist a second chance with the woman he once lost. Can the pieces of their broken pasts be enough to build a solid future?
