Romance Historical | Jane Austen
Picking up where Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice
left off, The Bad Miss Bennet takes readers on a wild
Regency adventure with Lydia Wickham, née Bennet, who finds
herself in dire need of a new husband. Lydia was never the most upstanding of the Bennet sisters,
but who ever said that moral rectitude was fun? At least she bested her elder sisters and was the first to
get married. She never could understand what all the
fuss was about after she left Brighton with her gallant. It
is a shame, though, that Mr. Wickham turned out to be a
disappointing husband in so many aspects, the most notable
being his early demise on the battlefields of Waterloo.
And so Lydia, still not yet twenty and full of enterprising
spirit, is in urgent need of a wealthy replacement. A
lesser woman, without Lydia's natural ability to flirt
uproariously on the dance floor and cheat seamlessly at
the card table, would swoon in the wake of a dashing
highwayman, a corrupt banker, and even an amorous
Prince Regent. But on the hunt for a marriage that will make
her rich, there's nothing that Lydia won't turn her
hand to. In the meantime, she has no qualms about imposing
on her sister Elizabeth's hospitality at Pemberley.
After all, what is the point of having all that fine fortune
if not to aid a poor, newly widowed younger sister? While Lydia rattles around the continent from Paris to
Venice and to the home of the disgraced Princess
of Wales in Italy and back again to Darbyshire, you,
dear reader, will be greatly diverted by the new
adventures of Jane Austen's consummate and incorrigible
anti-heroine, who never ceases to delight.
