The Cruelest Season

What if Lydia Bennet and Mr. Wickham never ran away to Brighton? What if it were Elizabeth's honor that was compromised instead? The dashing Mr. Wickham, filled with tales of his own persecution, has won Elizabeth Bennet's sympathies, and perhaps her heart. But when the gentleman dares to put Elizabeth into the path of ruin instead of matrimony, all of her hopes to marry for the very deepest love are shattered into a thousand pieces.
What would it take to rescue a young lady from scandal? Furious with Mr. Wickham for his ill treatment of Miss Bennet, an admirer from afar has a proposal that offers Elizabeth the chance to rescue herself, and her family, from ruin.
But will this marriage of convenience be enough to stem the tide of scandal? Or will their falsehood be discovered and turn the world upside down all over again?
The Cruelest Season is a clean Pride and Prejudice variation that is suitable for all lovers of Jane Austen's romantic classic.
