Her only comfort is her dear 'aunt', Princess Caroline of Brunswick, and her Bennet relations, with whom she spends part of every year. When it comes time to marry, she draws more earnest attention from the Prince Regent. Now subject to scrutiny, strategy, and the Crown's designs, Elizabeth must protect her independence and her heart despite political pressure and powerful expectations, or risk becoming little more than a carefully placed asset.Fitzwilliam Darcy is certain of his own importance when he meets the Bennets while staying with Mr. Bingley in Hertfordshire.
