Mrs. Bennet Has Her Say

"1785 was to be the most marvelous year of Marianne's life, until an unfortunate turn of events left her in a compromised state and desperate for a husband to care--or rather cover--for her. Now, stuck in an undesirable marriage to Mr. Edward Bennet, who is desperate in his own way for a male heir, and still carrying a smoldering desire for the handsome Colonel Miller, Mrs. Bennet must find ways to avoid her husband's lascivious advances until she is once again reunited with her dashing Colonel. Except that the best-laid plans of a woman in good standing can so often go awry, especially when her contrary husband has plans and desires of his own . . . Filled with audacious wit and hilarious surprises, this debut novel is an honest, smart, and satirical look at love, marriage, and the beloved Bennet family from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, as you've never seen them before . .
