Anne's Adversity: A Pride & Prejudice Variation

Lady Catherine has a secret....

When Anne de Bourgh discovers a family secret in an old letter, she is given two choices: Burn the letter and forget about it or leave Rosings and face disinheritance. How can a sickly lady past the bloom of youth, with no prospects and few friends, hope to stand on her own two feet? How can she learn more about her family’s past without causing a scandal that would forever cast a shadow over the de Bourghs?

Luc Mauvier has led a life of freedom and success as a small theater owner in town. His tragic past has taught him to enjoy life and its pleasures to the fullest. When he meets Anne de Bourgh, she is opposite to everything he has ever known, and he is soon reminded of how a gentleman should behave with a real lady. Can a tradesman win the heart of a lady? Even more important: How can he win Lady Catherine’s approval?

What Anne reveals about her past gives her courage, but will it be enough?

Anne's Adversity is the second book in The Darcy Cousins Series trilogy, a series of clean, sweet Regency romances inspired by Jane Austen's timeless classic, Pride and Prejudice.
