Hounded by vile gossip, Mr Darcy leaves London in disgust…only to meet Elizabeth Bennet, the one woman with the wit and courage to look beyond the rumours.

The whispers that Darcy’s birth might have been illegitimate are ridiculous, insulting…and confounding. Someone must be spreading them, but who is his hidden enemy? Why are they mounting this attack — and why do old letters from Darcy’s own father seem to support the accusations?

Elizabeth Bennet is unimpressed by the stranger who came to Hertfordshire thinking himself so superior…and equally unconvinced by the rumours of his illegitimacy: for good or ill, Mr Darcy should be judged by his own actions, not by what the gossips say about him. Who is Mr Darcy, really? The gossips say one thing. Mr Wickham says another. The whispers of her heart seem to say something else entirely. As Elizabeth and Mr Darcy exchange insults and proposals, challenges and unexpected support, the connection between them becomes undeniable…and impossible.

But Mr Darcy has no intention of seeing Elizabeth hurt, whatever the cost to his pride. And when Mr Darcy’s hidden enemy thinks he has achieved checkmate, he failed to account for Elizabeth…

Such Low Connections is a witty and suspenseful tale of what happens when the proud Mr Darcy finds his high place in society cast into doubt. Some friends prove false and others true, and disaster looms for Our Dear Couple. Readers can expect villains new and familiar, Elizabeth and Mr Darcy falling in love before they quite realise it, and a strong happy ending.
