Wits & Wagers by Amy D’Orazio

I love Elizabeth Bennet, and I shall do whatever it takes to win her, against any man–relation, friend, or foe, depend upon it.
FITZWILLIAM DARCY, FEELING OVERWHELMING DESPAIR at the finality of Elizabeth Bennet’s rejection at Hunsford,decides he must accept the fate that duty has dictated to him–a fate which includes proposing to his cousin Miss Anne de Bourgh. His cousins Colonel Fitzwilliam and Viscount Saye are aghast at Darcy’s decision and do their best to thwart him, with cajolery, threats, and bribery all failing to move him. Saye is certain that there is no hope left for him, until the colonel suggests a daring plan: one last chance to reunite Darcy and Elizabeth, and one last opportunity for love.

ELIZABETH BENNET, ELATED BY HER SISTER’S ENGAGEMENT to Mr Bingley, is undeniably perplexed when Colonel Fitzwilliam, Lord Saye, and Mr Darcy all appear in Hertfordshire for the wedding festivities. Even more baffling are the actions of the men, alternately vexing, charming, and in some ways, endearing.

BUT NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS in this battle of wits, where the stakes are true love, in Hertfordshire. Everyone has their wagers placed, waiting to see whose plan for happily ever after will prevail.
