About this listen
WHEN ELIZABETH BENNET JOURNEYS to Hunsford to visit her friend Charlotte, she hardly expects more than polite conversation and quiet company. Yet her peace shatters the moment Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy appears to have taken an interest in her, and is doing everything to secure her favour. Elizabeth is baffled and indignant—how dare the man who once slighted her at a public assembly suddenly profess such sentiments?
DARCY HAS NEVER FELT MORE TORN. Encouraged by a secret wager struck with his mischievous cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, he has allowed a mere dare to spur him into declaring affections he had long repressed. Now he stands before Elizabeth—and himself—forced to admit that what began as a reckless gamble has only exposed the depth of his true regard. But how can he convince Elizabeth that her good opinion means more to him than pride, more than propriety, more than even the esteem of his peers?
ELIZABETH’S CONFUSION DEEPENS when she learns of the wager behind Darcy’s words. Infuriated and wounded, she questions everything she thought she knew about the man and his character. As misunderstandings multiply, can Darcy prove that his love transcends the folly that first inspired his confession? Will Elizabeth discover that a heart, though once guarded by prejudice and wounded pride, can be redeemed?
Hearts Under Wager is a clean Regency romance that asks: Can an ill-conceived dare lead to true devotion, or will lingering doubts and wounded feelings forever stand in the way of their happily ever after?

Story
What's the worst that can happen when a Regency lady commits a Propriety Violation? Might she suffer acute embarrassment, a tarnished reputation, a forced marriage, shunning of her family, or something even more dire? These consequences might be devastating, but could we countenance a more nefarious possibility?Elizabeth Bennet is enjoying a peaceful morning stroll in Ramsgate when the pleasant sound of the waves is interrupted by a scream. She impulsively reacts and finds her life altered forever. Caution: This story contains brief, non-graphic descriptions of violence, death, and war.

Attention: Please note that this is the second edition of this book. Apart from an updated formatting, there is no new content for those who have already read or purchased the previous edition. ‘One Little White Lie’ is the third variation of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ by Lyr Newton, the author of the bestselling ‘Mr Darcy’s Household’. It is undoubtedly the most romantic of the three and also the longest.

One warning, two cautions, and two notes: WARNING: Portions of this book focus on some of George Wickham’s worst crimes against young ladies. While the revenge taken is not fully or graphically detailed, it is extreme. “He had certainly formed such a plan, and without meaning that it should effect his endeavour to separate him from Miss Bennet, it is probable that it might add something to his lively concern for the welfare of his friend.” Pride & Prejudice, chapter 45 This vagary proposes an alternate path for the characters of Pride and Prejudice. Some character aspects are ...
