‘Was sleeping…it happened in my sleep! This is all a mistake!’
Elizabeth Bennet has no intention of marrying the proud, disagreeable Mr Darcy—the man who declared her barely tolerable. But when she wakes to find him in her bed at Netherfield, her choices vanish. Within days, she's married to a virtual stranger.
What Elizabeth does not know is that Darcy is just as much a victim of circumstance. Drugged and manipulated by a jealous rival, he stumbled into the wrong bedchamber and now finds himself bound to a lady who believes he thinks her beneath him, while he burns with feelings he can barely express.
Forced into intimacy neither chose, Elizabeth and Darcy must navigate a marriage neither planned. She is determined not to resent a husband who was trapped into proposing. He's desperate to prove he would have chosen her anyway. Between meddling relatives, scandalous secrets, and their own stubborn pride, can two people who married as strangers discover they are perfect for one another?
A Total Want of Propriety is a Pride and Prejudice Variation and is novella length.
