Pleasured by Her Officers
(2026)(The first book in the Mrs. Wickham's Upstanding Officers series)
A novel by Elizabeth Roubaix
Lydia Wickham had cold water thrown on her girlish dreams. But now her pitcher is overflowing as she's christened in pleasure.
Four years into a loveless marriage, Lydia finds herself at Meryton's inn — not for dancing, but to be wagered on a hand of cards. Wickham is deeper in debt than ever. He's decided his wife is his most valuable asset, and the men of Meryton are only too eager to inspect what's on offer.
But Major Carter, Captain Denny, and Captain Chamberlayne — old friends from Lydia's flirting days — have other plans. Her three decorated officers spirit Lydia upstairs and spend the evening showing her what devoted men can do.
Soon, the officers are shedding their regimentals and polishing Lydia like the shiny brass buttons on their uniforms. Scouting her dells and hillocks to claim every bit of her territory. And demonstrating how a soldier wields his bayonet to elicit battle cries of bliss.
When the cards fall in Wickham's favor, Lydia faces a choice: return to a husband who sees her as currency, or become the kind of woman Meryton will never stop whispering about. But Lydia Bennet always did prefer the company of officers. And this time, she's done being a good wife.
Pleasured by Her Officers is Book 1 in the Mrs. Wickham's Upstanding Officers series — a spicy Pride & Prejudice MMFM why choose reimagining where Lydia finally gets the justice — and attention — she deserves.
