Daring & Decorum: A Pride and Prejudice Story

Mary Bennet knows she's destined for a life as a spinster.Seeing her two older sisters make sparkling, nearly unthinkable matches with society gentlemen and knowing she does not possess the beauty or vivaciousness to do the same - not to mention watching horrified as her younger sister Lydia brought the whole family to the brink of ruin with her disastrous affair and scandalously patched up marriage - it’s enough to make Mary want to swear off the idea of marriage altogether.But as the next Bennet daughter in line to be married and with pressure from her well meaning sisters and overbearing mother, Mary will find herself reluctantly tossed into the world of Society. From the modistes and ballrooms of London to the lush gardens of sprawling country estates, she will navigate a world that seems strangely charmed by the austere country girl in its midst.Along the way she’ll discover the unforeseen advantages of having a sizable dowry financed by her newly wealthy sisters - and have to face the way it makes her question whether she can trust any of the honeyed words or flattering attentions she begins to receive from eligible young gentlemen of the ton.
