More than a courtesan...

With Mr. Bennet dead and Lydia having fled, leaving the Bennet sisters in disgrace, the widowed Mr. Collins believes he will easily persuade Lizzy to be his new bride. When she refuses, they are forced to flee the small home they've lived in at Longbourn for the last two years. Lizzy and her sisters come to unwelcoming London, unable to seek refuge with the Gardiners because of their reputations, ruined by Lydia's actions. With dwindling prospects, Lizzy accepts an offer of assistance from an unlikely source.

Lizzy has recognized love still exists between them, allowing her to soften her stance. She's on the cusp of obtaining everything in the world that could make her happy, but an old enemy isn't content to allow her and Fitzwilliam such a chance. Can he keep them from the HEA for which they've fought so hard?

This is part three of a completed three-part serial.
