Beskrivelse
"It is a truth universally acknowledged," the bustling lady guardian told her young charges, over the clatter of the stagecoach and the thunder of the horses' hooves, "that a young man in possession of a good parcel of land must be in want of a fresh young bride." As the weekly stagecoach heads into Pemberdale, Wyoming, it carries on board the hopes of the men of Meryton. All the way from Saint Louis, shaken and weary from many days of travel, the five Bennet sisters are about to embark on a tumultuous sequence of adventure and mishap that will take their reputations and their futures into perils that no-one would have predicted. From a ridge, high on his gray Arabian, Fitzwilliam Darcy watches the arrival of the stage with mixed feelings. He wishes the best for the fortunes of the townsfolk, and for his friend Charles Bingley, but he holds no such optimistic hope of the stage bringing a suitable bride for himself. But as a tall and slender, dark-haired young woman descends from the coach and glances up, Mr. Darcy's heart pounds and he feels the hand of fate touch his shoulder. Romance and love beckon, and in many guises, but who will answer the call?Lovingly crafted as a clean and wholesome novella-length re-imaginging of the Pride ands Prejudice story Georgina lPeel loves so well, this thirty-six thousand word variation is a western mail-order bride romantic adventure to delight fans and newcomers alike.
