The Duchess Lydia

Lydia finally grows up and learns to think about others! You'll be far happier with the adult Lydia, then the sixteen-year-old version. But that doesn't mean she's become a 'proper' young lady. Lydia is still Lydia. She loves to have a good time and she'll fight hard to save those she loves. She will never be one who sits on the sidelines quietly.

Thanks to the Duke of Rochester's generosity and the death of Wickham, Lydia Bennet is now a wealthy, independent woman. When Lydia takes residence in the finest house in the West End, her brother-in-law, Darcy, is concerned that she is 'over her head.'

Despite his concerns, Darcy retrieves his sister, Georgiana, from Pemberley and places her in Lydia's home. The two young ladies, both recently widowed, form a strong sisterly bond and soon set out to find love again.

Unfortunately, the man Lydia wishes to marry, David, the Duke of Rochester, is already contracted to marry another woman. When Lydia discovers the fiancée plans to murder David and his sons, she rallies her servants and friends, determined to stop the murderess at all costs. Will Lydia's love of David and his boys triumph, or will the "Lady of Death" continue her path of destruction?
