Before many days have passed, she meets the elusive Mr. Darcy in the woods near Dunleavy, the estate of her Aunt Gardiner's ailing sister Lady Mary Grace.

In a strange twist of events, Elizabeth's summer will see her brought closer to the gruff Mr. Darcy and his impertinent sister. She will come to understand she loves the beastly master of Pemberley.

An unforgettable fantasy retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice that is romantic, funny, and more relevant than ever. Elizabeth Bennet is hiding a forbidden power. She can speak to draca, the fire-breathing creatures kept as status symbols by English gentry. If only Mr. Darcy would stop noticing... and hinting at his own dark secret. When Elizabeth's sister falls deathly ill, the cure lies in the mysteries of draca. Elizabeth, aided by her brilliant sister Mary, defies restrictive English society to hunt for lost draca lore. She must hurry. England's war with France has drawn other hunters, and they have darker goals. Elizabeth's search leads her to the fabulous Pemberley estate, home of the entitled and infuriating man whose proposal she scorned. There, Elizabeth's worlds smash together-protocol against passion, and exultation against the risk of love. But the stakes are greater than her sister's life. Elizabeth must test herself against a distant war. And her enemy is not who she thought.

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.
