The Illegitimate Heir: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

By: Hoffmeister, Emmaline

THE TRUTH ALWAYS COMES OUT IN THE END

The romantic tale of an honourable soldier, a rich beauty, and a vengeful rake.

The younger son of an earl often cannot afford to marry for love, so it is fortunate Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam has fallen in love with Helen Malham, who has both beauty and wealth. Her father, however, will not allow her to marry a man without a title.

When the Prince Regent names Richard the Duke of Blachedone, it is both a blessing and a curse. His newly acquired title means he may marry Helen-assuming she will have him once the truth comes out. He was awarded the dukedom not for his service to the Crown, but because he is the former duke's illegitimate son, and soon all of London will know.

Mr. Calvin Adwell is a rake and a blackguard and set to be one of the richest dukes in England ... until his uncle is stripped of his titles and possessions while on his deathbed. Bereft of his inheritance, Calvin will stop at nothing to get revenge on his uncle's illegitimate heir. He will strike at Richard in any way he can, even if it means ruining an innocent woman.
