Twenty years after Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice….
…and Regency London is a wicked place, especially for Camilla, Mr Darcy’s lively and witty daughter,.
Love and intrigue are in the air, scandal and gossip on everyone’s tongues, and being a Darcy with a fortune of thirty thousand pounds is no defence against slanderous tongues and dishonest intentions - particularly not when you have four difficult sisters. With her parents far away, Camilla has to humour her priggish elder sister and steer her three wild younger sisters away from unsuitable attachments as she embarks upon her first London season.
Country-wise but town-foolish, Camilla must contend with a host of characters both familiar and new - with Caroline Bingley, now in possession of a title and a cold spite against Mr Darcy and his daughters; with Aunt Lydia, fast and dangerous and now on her second husband; with rich, experienced and worldly Pagoda Portal.
Yet none of these are as dangerous as the men who seek her heart - or her fortune.
Can Camilla guard her heart against fatal mistakes? And, as her sisters bring scandal and ruin upon the family, can she herself ever hope to find love?
