Ashes of Rosings (Revised Edition)

A Dark Pride and Prejudice Variation

By: Victoria Haute

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Anne de Bourgh is dead. The fire that consumed Rosings Park left Elizabeth Bennet alive, disgraced, and suspected of murder.

When Fitzwilliam Darcy — scarred from his desperate attempt to save his cousin — offers Elizabeth sanctuary at Pemberley, she arrives with a half-empty trunk, a ruined reputation, and a scorched letter fragment hidden in her belongings. A letter in Lady Catherine's handwriting that speaks of arrangements, physicians, and permanent solutions.

Elizabeth has fourteen days before the magistrate files charges against her and Darcy. Fourteen days to find the witnesses Lady Catherine has scattered, follow the money she has stolen, and prove that the fire was not a tragic accident but a mother's calculated murder. Fourteen days to build a case from ashes — with the help of a man whose guilt over the cousin he could not save is matched only by his growing inability to hide what he feels for the woman he did.

As Elizabeth uncovers seventeen years of embezzlement, a drugged daughter, and seven doors locked from the outside, she discovers that Lady Catherine's plan did not end with Anne's death. There is a place reserved at a Scottish asylum. And it was never meant for Anne.

A gothic Pride and Prejudice mystery where Elizabeth investigates, Darcy protects, and the truth is more dangerous than the fire that tried to bury it.

A darkly atmospheric JAFF where Elizabeth Bennet refuses to be silenced.
