So, Fitz has turned elsewhere to support himself financially. He owns an infamous gambling hell in London, partnering with his best friend George Wickham. He's also infamous for other reasons, namely that is he widely considered the worst rake in all of England. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFitz has rules, though. Widows and other men's wives are all fair game, but he doesn't debauch innocent virgins. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut then, at a trip to his aunt Lady Catherine's country house, he first sets eyes on Miss Elizabeth Bennet, whose sharp tongue so readily handles his harridan of an aunt he can't help but be intrigued by her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNo, not intrigued, obsessed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eScruples be damned, he has to have her. He'll stop at nothing to make it happen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe longer he pursues her, the more he begins to change in ways he can't quite understand. What is it about this Bennet girl, and can his desire for her reform this wretched rake? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eOh, this is not even remotely clean, dear Reader. Also, quite obviously, both Darcy and Wickham are wildly out of character. I hope you enjoy this trip into an alternate imagining of the characters and situations we all know and love.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valerie Lennox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8503763036\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798503763034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.47d","brand":"Valerie Lennox","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071773012223,"sku":"9798503763034","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c37e6ff-839e-4ca1-8829-88ff0b8198ad.jpg?v=1685438050","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mr-darcy-the-rake-valerie-lennox-9798503763034","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
