About this ebook

Romance and scandal abound in this warm and witty tale of the young Octavia Darcy. Perfect for Austen addicts everywhere!

‘I am a woman of independent means, definitely in possession of a good fortune, but I am not in the least in want of a husband!’

But an unexpected legacy leaves her extremely well off and for the first time ever she can decide her own fate.

Suddenly everyone wants to know her and pay court to her. Who can she rely on? Luckily her new-found acquaintance with her Darcy cousins takes her to Netherfield Hall, which has an argumentative but undoubtedly intriguing new tenant...
