A Grateful Love

Lydia Bennet's flight from Brighton and her scandalous dalliances with Mr. Wickham were enough to ruin any family... but none could have felt it as keenly as a family in possession of five daughters who would all be tainted by her actions.  However, when an anonymous benefactor discovers the pair and sees them married--Elizabeth Bennet is determined to discover the identity of the nameless gentleman.  But when Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy is revealed as the gentleman in question, her only thought is of demanding an answer as to why he had done it. Why had he come to their aid? Asking a question is one thing, but knowing how to react to the answer is entirely another. Will Elizabeth Bennet be able to put aside her confusion and trust her heart? Or will this chance be lost to her forever? A Grateful Love is the third instalment in A Courtship of Roses, a six book series of short standalone novellas featuring different re-imaginings of our dear couple's courtship. From innocent beginnings to passionate encounters, these sensual and steamy reads are best enjoyed by mature readers.
