Elizabeth Bennet's Dangerous Disguise
(2026)(A book in the Pride and Prejudice Variation series)
A novel by Juliana Abbott
A dangerous secret. A game of cards—and a marriage she never expected to desire.
Elizabeth Bennet never imagined her family’s future would rest on a game of cards.
At one-and-twenty and without a suitor, she has long endured her mother’s anxieties—but nothing prepares her for the truth: Longbourn is drowning in debt. With the entailment gone and the coffers empty, their home is soon to be sold.
They need money—and quickly.
While Mrs. Bennet pursues wealthy matches, Elizabeth and Jane seize upon a more desperate plan: a high-stakes card tournament with a prize large enough to save their home. Elizabeth, whose skill at cards is unmatched, is determined to win it.
There is only one obstacle.
Ladies are not permitted to play.
Undeterred, Elizabeth and Jane adopt disguises as gentlemen to gain entry to the tournament. The deception succeeds—until a moment of danger nearly exposes them. Their escape is aided by two strangers: a charming gentleman from the North and his brooding, watchful friend.
Elizabeth believes the encounter safely behind her.
She is mistaken.
For when the same gentlemen—Mr. Bingley and his friend, Mr. Darcy—arrive in Meryton, it becomes clear that Darcy knows far more than he ought.
A man of strict principles, he now holds Elizabeth’s reputation—and her family’s future—in his hands.
While Mr. Bingley is soon captivated by Jane, his friend proves far more difficult to understand. For though Darcy remains reserved, his attention lingers in ways Elizabeth cannot ignore.
And despite the danger he represents—
She finds herself drawn to him.
But Mr. Darcy is not free to choose as he wishes. Bound by duty and a prior engagement, he can offer her nothing… even as the risk to her reputation grows ever greater.
When scandal threatens and loyalties are tested, Elizabeth must decide whether to trust the one man who could ruin her—or the only man who might save her.
