The Second Mrs. Darcy by Elizabeth Aston
A penniless woman who reluctantly inherits a fortune upon her husband's death is brought to London to live the life of a socialite in this Jane Austen-inspired follow-up to Pride & Prejudice about the Darcy family from the author of Mr. Darcy's Daughters.It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a husband. So say the friends and family of impoverished widow Octavia Darcy when she unexpectedly inherits a fortune, but she has a different view and looks forward to a new life of independence.
Escaping from the efforts of her half brothers and sisters to marry her off, Octavia goes to Yorkshire to find out more about the family she never knew, and while she is there she meets and crosses swords with landowner and politician Sholto Rutherford.
When she returns to London to share a house with the dashing Lady Susan, Octavia, now secure in her new life, becomes caught up in the romantic problems of her niece. Then, the shadow of George Warren, the old nemesis of the Darcy family, falls over her, and she is threatened with the loss of both her inheritance and reputation.
Elizabeth Aston is a Jane Austen fan who went to Oxford to study with Austen biographer Lord David Cecil. Darcy's Daughters, The Exploits & Adventures of Miss Alethea Darcy, The Real Darcy Spirit, and The Second Mrs. Darcy are among her works. Darcy and The Darcy Connection are two books about Mr. Darcy. She splits her time between England and Italy.
