Avidity (Darcy's Courtesan, Part Two)

Instruction becomes unquenchable passion...
With Mr. Bennet dead and Lydia having fled, leaving the Bennet sisters in disgrace, the widowed Mr. Collins believes he will easily persuade Lizzy to be his new bride. When she refuses, they are forced to flee the small home they've lived in at Longbourn for the last two years. Lizzy and her sisters come to unwelcoming London, unable to seek refuge with the Gardiners because of their reputations, ruined by Lydia's actions. With dwindling prospects, Lizzy accepts an offer of assistance from an unlikely source.

Installed in Darcy House with her sisters and learning the skills necessary for a courtesan, Lizzy discovers a deep and abiding passion with Fitzwilliam. Is there any hope the love he once felt for her might stir anew? Can she ever be more than Darcy's courtesan?

This is part two of a completed three-part serial. The final installment ("Amity") will be releasing shortly, followed by a compilation of the serial.

While Abbey sometimes writes sweet JAFF, this is extra SENSUAL. It includes love scenes that are scorching. This is only for adult readers who don't object to explicit intimacies between ODC.
