About this listen
MR. FITZWILLIAM DARCY has no desire to marry—not after witnessing his mother’s suffering, nor his sister’s. Convinced men only use women, he has no intention of becoming one of those men. But when he arrives in Meryton, Darcy’s plans change after receiving a letter from an unfamiliar attorney revealing a hidden inheritance of valuable heirlooms left by his late mother. The catch? The inheritance can only be claimed upon his engagement, and Lady Catherine de Bourgh, the executor of the will, is using this to force Darcy into marrying her daughter, Anne.
DETERMINED TO HONOR his mother’s wishes and secure the inheritance for his sister Georgiana, Darcy devises a bold plan: a fake courtship with Elizabeth Bennet, the one woman in Meryton who seems utterly indifferent to him. Elizabeth, shocked by the proposal, finds the benefits too tempting to refuse—especially the chance to escape marriage to the insufferable Mr. Collins.
AS DARCY AND ELIZABETH play out their charade, the line between pretense and reality begin to fades. When the time comes to end their ruse, will either be willing to let go—or will they realize that their clever scheme was always destined to become something far more meaningful?
This is a sweet, witty, and romantic Pride and Prejudice Variation novel. It is appropriate for readers of all ages.

Story
‘Elizabeth’s Covenant’ is more than just a new edition of one of Florence Gold’s early novels; it is a revised version that, while grounded in the same idea of a covenant undertaken by Elizabeth, it also reveals an entirely different underlying mystery. Elspeth Awbrey, formerly Bennet, is the sister of Mr Bennet and the guardian of traditions inherited from their Scottish ancestor, Elspeth MacLellan. Married to Oliver Bennet, the man who imposed the infamous entail on Longbourn, Elspeth MacLellan insisted that all their descendants, whether male or female, must fulfil a covenant to ...
