Description

After the untimely death of their parents, Elizabeth Bennet and her sisters are left to make their own way in the world... until Lady Catherine de Bourgh intervenes...
The orphaned Bennet sisters do their best to get by at Longbourn until their cousin Mr. Collins finally comes to claim his inheritance, two years after the death of Mr. Bennet. Hot on his heels is his noble patroness, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, a woman consumed by grief of her own after the loss of her husband and daughter in a terrible fire at her estate, Rosings.

While her nephew Mr. Darcy is shocked by his aunt's interest in the five orphaned girls, her niece Georgiana thinks it just the thing to soothe the dowager's low spirits. Moved by the bonds of sorrow and a shared contempt of Mr. Collins, Lady Catherine offers the Bennet sisters her protection and assistance in society - and what better way to help them than to find them all rich husbands?

Much to her chagrin, Lady Catherine is not the only one to meddle in Meryton's marriage mart - Richard Fitzwilliam joins her, at leisure to make mischief, Charlotte Lucas, now an heiress in her own right, has a secret of her own. Meanwhile, Georgiana Darcy finds herself inspired to write a novel that will document - and change - the lives of her new friends.

Tensions rise between Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy as they both bristle at Lady Catherine's plans - for very different reasons. Chaos ensues and plans go awry as the great lady rents Netherfield Park and hosts a horde of single gentlemen in possession of good fortunes, who must be in want of wives. Will the Bennet sisters find love and happiness? What other Austen heroes and rakes might appear in the once dull village of Meryton? Will Darcy and Lizzy overcome the obstacles of their own making?
