Surprise & Serendipity Sydney Salier

An accident at the Netherfield ball forces Mr Darcy to propose to Miss Elizabeth Bennet. But when he finds the accident was caused by Lydia Bennet, he suspects he was deliberately set up for a compromise. At that point, his fledgling love for Miss Elizabeth turns to scorn. He is determined to back out of the hasty engagement, and damn the consequences, until he learns that Miss Elizabeth hates him and does not want to marry him. Suddenly he is equally determined to change her mind and gain her love. Along the way many people are surprised at what they discover about themselves and people they thought they knew.
