Please note that this paperback is a re-release of a previously published novel through a different publisher and with a different cover. The title and content are the same."Assumed Engagement" looks at what may have happened if Mr. Darcy had written his sister, Georgiana, to inform her that he was going to ask for Elizabeth Bennet's hand in marriage. She would have likely, but erroneously, assumed that Elizabeth would accept. This story picks up after Chapter 36 in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice." On his return trip to Pemberley after his stay at Rosings where his offer of marriage was refused by Miss Elizabeth Bennet, Mr. Darcy's carriage overturns and he is rendered unconscious. Georgiana, thinking they are engaged, writes to Elizabeth, begging her to come to Pemberley, thinking she may be able to help draw him out. This is a variation of Jane Austen's captivating novel.
