What to expect

A gorgeous Regency romp of a novel from Eliza Austin, perfect for fans of Bridgerton!

Pemberley Presents…

After an absence of twelve years, Dominic Sanford returns to his dilapidated estate on the borders of Pemberley a troubled man. Journals have recently come into his possession that bring into question the accident that killed both of his parents and suggests they could have been murdered. Dominic will know no peace until he discovers the truth.

Georgiana Darcy feels an immediate attraction towards her brother’s engaging friend. Determined to be of service to her neighbour, Georgiana scours her own father’s diaries and discovers disquieting information about illegal activities at the time of the Sanfords’ demise.

As Dominic and Georgiana delve deeper, they uncover a fiendish web of organised criminality fuelled by thirst for revenge against Dominic. Georgiana unwittingly plays a major role in the miscreants’ plans and by involving her, Dominic has placed her directly in danger’s path. Can he save the woman whom he has come to admire, or will Georgina's daring have pushed her too far into danger?

A sparkling continuation of Pride and Prejudice perfect for fans of Julia Quinn, Eloisa James and Mary Balogh.
