A Season in Meryton: A Pride and Prejudice Variation (The Pemberley Chronicles #3)
Sarah Smith
After the Netherfield ball, Meryton wakes buzzing with gossip. Elizabeth Bennet is relieved and resentful in equal measure, while Mr. Darcy decides that leaving would be cowardice. His presence ensures that every gathering, every visit, and every conversation carries consequence.
As the season unfolds, society watches closely. Caroline Bingley schemes, Mrs. Bennet parades her daughters, and Wickham plays the injured gentleman to perfection. Elizabeth begins to notice Darcy’s quiet patience, while Darcy sees her endurance tested by family and neighbors alike. When whispers of scandal threaten to draw Lydia into ruin, choices must be made with the whole town looking on.
In a world where reputation is everything, Elizabeth and Darcy must discover whether their growing regard can survive gossip, pride, and the relentless eyes of Meryton.
A Season in Meryton is Book Three of The Pemberley Chronicles, a trilogy of Pride and Prejudice variations exploring new ways love might triumph over pride.
