A Summer in Brighton (en Inglés) - Cat Robbins

In the bright streets of Brighton, old wounds heal... and new dangers ignite.

One month after the disastrous proposal at Hunsford, Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy is still nursing his wounded pride in London. Though he has set Bingley back on the path to Jane Bennet, regret gnaws at him: he should have exposed George Wickham in Meryton long ago. When the militia removes to Brighton, Darcy travels there with Colonel Fitzwilliam, determined to prevent the villain from ruining another unsuspecting young lady, or worse, Darcy's own sister.

At Longbourn, Miss Elizabeth Bennet's planned journey to the Lakes has been cancelled, only for Lydia to receive a glittering invitation to Brighton from the foolishly indulgent Mrs Forster. Armed with the painful truths in Darcy's letter, Elizabeth refuses to let her youngest sister go unchaperoned. She accompanies Lydia to the seaside, resolved to watch over her.

In the bright, fashionable streets of Brighton, Miss Elizabeth and Mr Darcy collide once more.

No longer blinded by prejudice, Miss Elizabeth sees the man who tried to warn her. Mr Darcy finds the woman he cannot forget far more forgiving than he deserves. Their conversations are careful and stilted, yet necessity draws them together: Wickham is here, charming as ever, and Lydia is ripe for disaster. With the Colonel's wry assistance and Mrs Forster's alarming naivety, the unlikely pair must work side by side to protect the innocent, and perhaps, along the way, discover whether pride and prejudice can truly be overcome by the sea air.
