For the Love of a Bennet

Elizabeth Bennet swore she would never dance with Mr. Darcy again. Brighton had other plans.

She had a simple itinerary for the summer: Keep Lydia away from Wickham. Keep her head down. Survive the scandal-ridden coast. Falling in love with the enemy was definitely not on the list. But fate has a cruel sense of humor.

Fitzwilliam Darcy wasn't supposed to be there. He was supposed to be nursing his wounded pride in London. Instead, he's in Brighton, uncovering a rot that festers at the heart of the militia—bad ledgers, missing supplies, and men who would kill to keep their secrets.

Every time Elizabeth turns around, Darcy is there. Shielding her. Challenging her. Proving her wrong. She came to Brighton to save her sister, but she didn't expect to be saved by the man she rejected.

Together, Our Dear Couple must navigate a seaside scandal and find that their love is the only true salvation.

For the Love of a Bennet is a Pride and Prejudice variation. †
