When Mr Wickham is prevented from pursuing Georgiana Darcy at Ramsgate, he has no intention of giving up on his revenge. Instead, Mrs Younge will lure her to the site of his militia posting – Meryton!

When Elizabeth Bennet meets Georgiana Darcy at a public assembly, her ‘proud’ manners have already caused the people of Meryton to view her with disgust. More perceptive than most, Elizabeth sees she is only shy and takes the younger girl under her wing. Theirs is a friendship that quickly goes to the heart, and Elizabeth cannot help but be intrigued by Georgiana’s glowing praise of her older brother. Can any man truly be as perfect as her descriptions of Mr Darcy?
Mr Darcy knows he shouldn’t fall for Elizabeth Bennet. After all, Mrs Younge has already warned him about the Bennet family’s vulgar intentions. Yet the connection between them is undeniable. She seems so warm, so witty, so genuine. But could any woman truly be as perfect for him as Elizabeth Bennet?
Surely not. Surely the portrait Mrs Younge paints of Elizabeth Bennet is reality, and she is only a selfish fortune-hunter, willing to do anything to catch a rich man, even pretending to befriend his sister. But the real danger to Georgiana is not what he suspects…

Surrounded by schemes and lies, can Elizabeth find a way to save her friend — and show Mr Darcy the truth?
