About this audiobook
With Mr. Bennet dead and Lydia’s scandal tarnishing the family name, the Bennet sisters are cast out. When Lizzy refuses Mr. Collins’s proposal, they're forced from Longbourn and find themselves unwelcome in London—even the Gardiners turn them away. With limited options, Lizzy accepts unexpected help from Mrs. Louisa Hurst, a reformed snob who introduces her to the world of courtesans.
At Tigerlily, Lizzy prepares to survive in a world she never imagined—until Mr. Darcy reappears with an outrageous offer. Marriage is out of the question—she won’t ruin his reputation out of guilt or duty. But when he proposes a bolder solution—he’ll train her himself in the art of pleasure—Lizzy agrees.
He’s still everything she ever wanted. She’s exactly what he shouldn’t want.
She must remember she’s his student. His courtesan. Nothing more.
Can she?
Adversity is Part One of a completed three-part series. Books 2 (Avidity) and 3 (Amity) are available now.
