A Strange Inheritance — Susannah Barton

In a surprising turn of events, Mr. Bennet has received word that a former business partner has willed him an estate in Derbyshire. Under the shadow of Longbourn's entailment, the arrival of news that the Bennet family might no longer have to depend on the future kindness of Mr. Collins is met with no small measure of excitement. Although Mrs. Bennet remains skeptical, Elizabeth Bennet and her sister Jane are in high spirits, and are eager to explore the abandoned estate that has become their new home. But dark shadows lurk about the halls of Pemberley, and as the cobwebs are cleared away, the estate's tragic history is brought to light, and Elizabeth finds herself strangely drawn to the house, and the sad fate of its former master. Before long, Elizabeth is second-guessing every shadow, and feels though her footsteps are being watched. But is it just her imagination, or does Pemberley's former occupant still linger in the house? A Strange Inheritance is a sensual, steamy, and supernatural Pride and Prejudice variation that is best enjoyed by readers over the age of 18.
