About this listen
Pemberley Presents…
With her rakish husband Wickham now dead, Lydia remains subdued and consumed by delayed guilt for the selfish behaviour that almost cost her family its respectability. Hoping to ease her sister’s anguish, Lizzy Darcy encourages Lydia to record her earliest memories of life with Wickham…but Lydia can only recall acts of rebellion and scandal and falls into an even deeper slump.
But when a new neighbour arrives to Pemberley, Lydia finds herself roused from her gloom – especially when Mr Patrick Shannon has a mystery to solve! Offering to help Lizzy’s enigmatic new neighbour, Lydia finds herself once more drawn into scandal and a web of secrecy and lies that threatens the safety of them both!
Meanwhile, Caroline Bingley has set her heart on winning Patrick’s affections and this time no member of the Bennet family will stand in her way…
A sparkling continuation of Pride and Prejudice perfect for fans of Julia Quinn, Eloisa James and Mary Balogh

Mr. Darcy is unmarriageable. Every time he shows any interest in a lady, be it casual or serious, the lady disappears or has disaster befall her. Soon, society spreads gossip that he is cursed, and mamas and daughters alike shun his company.

Story
Elizabeth Bennet loathes insufferable Mr. Darcy. When a series of mishaps repeatedly throws them into each other’s company—first with her unconscious at Netherfield, then him injured at Rosings—Elizabeth begins to see a different side of the proud man she thought she knew. This tender, low-angst Regency variation of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice proves that pride does indeed come before a fall…and that, in this case, love always comes after.
