Mr Darcy's Mistress - Elizabeth's Dilemma  A Pride & Prejudice Sequel by Francine Howarth, Pat Jackson
Nothing is quite as it Seems at Pemberley! (Republished due to change in publisher imprint)

Jane Austen Fan Fiction: Honeymoon at Pemberley with Elizabeth (nee Bennet) and Fitzwilliam Darcy. But oh what a web of deceit is spun lest a past Darcy secret should come to light. Thus temptation to pry into private correspondence is a dreadful affliction, and the torment of an inquisitive mind adds fuel to a mystery Elizabeth dare not ask Darcy to reveal. Who then can help with unravelling the truth behind a clandestine affair other than Bingley? But trouble comes in threes, so it is said, and a visitor on the doorstep cannot be turned away, no matter she has brought destitution upon herself!



Starring the foremost characters of Pride & Prejudice, Darcy and Elizabeth’s story resumes at Pemberley where the estate demands his frequent attention. Left bored with little to do, Elizabeth ponders her future as the mistress of a house that is orderly and managed by Mrs Reynolds. Soon, her insatiable curiosity leads to a minor indiscretion. Tendered insecure by a shocking discovery she fears Darcy has spun a web of deceit to bury a dark secret. In the meanwhile dramatic cameos reintroduce her beloved sister Jane, the wickedly improper Lydia, and fans of JAFF will assuredly excuse the risk Darcy undertakes to ensure Elizabeth’s adventurous spirit is fulfilled and by doing it redeems his honour in her eyes. A thrilling triple dénouement concludes with extra news of a happy event at Longbourn. There is a distinct lyrical cadence to Ms Howarth’s literary prose, and peppered with humorous dialogue her command of history and descriptive narrative, weaves a seamless pictorial of people and places. Therefore, the Jane Austen Award is hereby bestowed as a symbol of literary merit.
