Shades of Pemberley

Description

Six years after the death of George Wickham, Lydia is once again determined to catch a husband, but when her oldest daughter, Kelsey (named for the village where her mother discovered she was expecting), realizes her mother is resorting to her usual, shameless tactics, Kelsey is determined to put an end to the pattern.

Yet, stopping her mother seems impossible.

Perhaps the only way to save the infamous Lydia Wickham from her own impropriety and spare her family from ruin is to distract her with what she craves most: the attention of a fine gentleman. But when fine gentlemen are scarce, what can Kelsey do but make one up?

Unfortunately, the only person willing to help her is the handsome but swaggering Nathaniel Worth, a man with all the telltale signs of trouble. As Kelsey reluctantly confides in Nathaniel and pulls him into her schemes, she can’t help but notice his kindness, charm, and incredibly dark eyes, but she’ll never admit she’s in love.

Despite her best efforts, all Kelsey has done is proven to herself she is much more of a Wickham than she ever wanted to be. How can she give her heart to another when she cannot trust herself?

Shades of Pemberley takes place about 18 years after the events in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
