It may have been a truth universally acknowledged that a single gentleman in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife-but an overlooked truth is also present in equal measure: not every young lady is on the hunt for a husband. Elizabeth Bennet has had her fill of her mother's schemes to find her a husband, and she fears that her mother's next steps will be drastic-even going so far as to agree to a match with the very next gentleman to make an offer! In a fit of desperation, Elizabeth creates a false engagement to a gentleman who does not exist. But how long will she be able to keep this fiction from being discovered as the lie it really is? When faced with the possibility that she might be caught, Elizabeth must turn to the most disagreeable gentleman of her acquaintance for his assistance in her scheme. But will his agreement come at a higher price than she is willing to pay? Elizabeth's False Fiancé is a sweet, clean Regency romance that is suitable for all lovers of Jane Austen's romantic classic.
