The Wager: A Pride and Prejudice Variation (Accomplished Ladies) (Volume 1)

By L.K. Rigel and Kate Bedlow

"Unhappy as the event must be for Lydia, we may draw from it this useful lesson: that the loss of virtue in a female is irretrievable - that one false step involves in her endless ruin - that her reputation is no less brittle than it is beautiful - and that she cannot be too much guarded in her behavior towards the undeserving of the opposite sex." ~ Mary BennetWhen Charlotte Collins invites Mary Bennet to visit Hunsford, she accepts, determined to quash her tender feelings for Mr. Collins. But she's is quite unprepared for the handsome and charming Major Carleton "Carley" Quartermaine, visiting Rosings Park with Colonel Fitzwilliam. Then prim Mary is scandalized to discover that she is the subject of a bet among gentlemen. Well, two gentlemen and one lady ~ mischief maker Caroline Bingley. The major's smile sends shivers through Mary's very soul, but can she love such a man and keep her self-respect?
