A keen judge of character and observer of human folly, Miss Elizabeth notices the extreme responses of Mr Wickham and Mr Darcy when they meet, and her curiosity is piqued. Do they know each other? How?
Mr Wickham, trying to avoid his old enemy but thwarted by fate, is bent on creating mischief for Darcy and exacting as much revenge upon him as he is able. When they meet in the market town of Meryton, he is astute enough to understand that Darcy already has an interest in one of the pretty Miss Bennets. He knows Darcy’s scowls quite well after all…
But what if he completely misinterprets the situation?
What if he does not believe that it is Elizabeth who holds Darcy’s incipient regard? Darcy has always had the very best; therefore it is obvious he must be interested in the most beautiful of the ladies. And the second eldest sister looks at Darcy with the very opposite of amiability…
Already feeling the danger of falling in love with the witty Miss Elizabeth Bennet and struggling with his own weakness, Darcy tries his best to protect his friend Bingley from a marriage he believes to be disadvantageous. His troubles multiply when he discovers the presence of the man he despises most, and he realises Wickham might plan a scheme of revenge which could harm innocent people.
His attempts to make amends for his own errors and try to counter Wickham’s mischievous plans places Darcy quite often in the presence of Miss Elizabeth, who becomes his friend and a dependable partner in his efforts. He even becomes well aquainted with Mr Bennet and builds a relationship of trust with the older gentleman.
While Elizabeth’s opinion of Darcy is obviously improved, can he dare hope for more than friendship? Is he even certain what ‘more’ means and how much more he desires? From this more amicable beginning, will further romantic feelings develop?
And if they do, is their path to love easy?
A Most Alarming Report is a romantic Pride and Prejudice variation with some angst, some humour, and some surprising turns of events. A story in which Miss Elizabeth and Mr Darcy must make their way from enemies to allies and friends in order to prevent an undesirable outcome. Will they succeed? Will their alliance become something more?
This is the forth book written by Michelle, and the thrd to be released just in time for the Netherfield Ball!”
