Synopsis:

A Pride and Prejudice what if. Fitzwilliam Darcy's story of the events that happened in Hertfordshire is told but with the addition of three other wealthy, handsome unmarried men. These five men descend upon Netherfield Park not for sport or leisure, but at Darcy’s invitation to form a secret partnership. Darcy and Charles Bingley are joined by Lord Blake, Gerald Rawlings, and Stephen Kent where business is intermingled with romance and the men become opponents in a high stakes competition for money and control all the while an unknown rival is watching and preparing the destruction of any alliance that emerges. Rivalry extends beyond business and onto a particular lady with fine eyes. Can these men of different backgrounds adapt to the social and financial changes of the emerging industrial revolution? Twists and turns continue in London and beyond in Book II until a satisfactory resolution is achieved.
