Elizabeth in Scotland: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Beatrice Langford instant download

**Three cunning riddles. Two families striving to win the inheritance of Strathalt House. And one impossible, undeniable love…what if Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy first met not at the Meryton assembly, but in Scotland by the shores of Loch Ness? **

When her father invites Elizabeth Bennet to accompany him to Scotland in pursuit of an unexpected inheritance, she is ecstatic. If Mr Bennet is truly the heir to Strathalt House, the Bennet women will have a home even when Longbourn is lost to them. Surely nothing could be better than helping her father while experiencing the beauty and mystery of Scotland for herself. And if Jane has seemed strangely angry ever since she was chosen for the journey, it must be only a misunderstanding.

Mr Darcy went to Scotland with his sister upon being told he was the only heir to Strathalt House. It is a most unpleasant surprise to find out he is one of two contenders - particularly as he promptly offends the other heir’s daughter by mistaking her for the housekeeper!

But a poor first impression is quickly outweighed by greater knowledge of each other. As Elizabeth becomes Georgiana Darcy’s guide in everything from stylish clothes to charming conversation, Mr Darcy finds his feelings warming from gratitude to something more. And when the heirs agree on an unconventional riddle contest to decide the next owner of Strathalt House, each day spent together brings the families closer in mutual friendship and respect.

Yet surely anything more than friendship is impossible. Elizabeth knows all too well that there is a vast gulf between Mr Darcy and herself. Worse still, someone must win Strathalt House, and someone must lose. How could the loser help but resent the winner?

The answers are waiting for them back in England…and so is a love that will last a lifetime.
