Rosings Park

Anne de Bourgh's character is forever fixed as sickly and cross, thanks to Miss Elizabeth Bennet, the heroine of Pride and Prejudice. At twenty-six, Anne is still unmarried and worries about her future. Her mother, Lady Catherine, expects her to marry her cousin Darcy, but Anne vows never to marry a man of her mother's choosing—especially Darcy. Like Miss Bennet, Anne hopes to marry for love. But being engaged to Darcy since her infancy poses a problem: What should the heiress of Rosings Park to do when her fiancé jilts her and she is thrown into the marriage market? A flurry of introductions to eligible men makes her wonder how she'll find a true heart when many flaws can be hidden by good manners and a pleasing countenance.
