An unexpected inheritance thrusts Lizzy into a world of passion, intrigue, and the enigmatic Phantom at Netherfield Theater.When tragedy strikes the illustrious Darcy family, the Bennets inherit "Netherfield Theater," unaware of the dark secrets that dwell within its formerly opulent walls. Elizabeth Bennet just wants to run the theater but quickly becomes entangled in a web of mystery as strange accidents plague the production. Whispers of a legendary phantom swirl through the cast and crew. Driven to protect her beloved theater, Lizzy is determined to unravel its mysteries, even if it means confronting the enigmatic and scarred resident, who haunts its shadowy tunnels below. Fitzwilliam Darcy, wearing the mask of the phantom, hides not only his disfigured face but also the torments of his past. In the depths of darkness, he has lost everything, but Elizabeth's presence beckons him toward the light. As their hearts entwine, he falls hopelessly in love with her, even though he knows he can never offer her a future beyond the secrets of the theater's underground world. Amidst the drama of the stage, and their impetuous love affair, a different kind of drama unfolds in the shadows. George Wickham, a charming but treacherous patron, knows the truth about Darcy's scars, the fire at Pemberley, and the phantom's identity. Wickham's sinister agenda threatens not only the theater but also the budding attraction between Lizzy and Fitzwilliam. Clearly, this is wildly divergent from "Pride & Prejudice" canon, and though ODC takes a different path to their happy ending, the author took pains to ensure Lizzy and Darcy (and the other characters) remain recognizably themselves. If you're feeling a little daring, mount your horse astride instead of side-saddle, throw on a brightly colored gown to dance a scandalous waltz, and unlace your stays to step into a world where Elizabeth Bennet's fiery spirit finds new avenues to shine, and Mr. Darcy's allure takes on a darker, more mysterious edge. While Abbey sometimes writes sweet JAFF, this is strictly SENSUAL.

Fitzwilliam gives his opinion of Meryton and its Assembly ball to Bingley before having a chance to thoroughly study the attendees. A woman with fine eyes catches his attention, but she rebuffs his invitation to dance. Miss Elizabeth Bennet quotes his own thoughtless words back to him and seems to find amusement in causing him discomfort as she ensures all in attendance know his thoughts. He should try to steer clear of her, but when she's at Netherfield to care for her sister, they unexpectedly find common ground. His opinion of her changes, and hers seems to soften. When Mr. Wickham targets her, he feels compelled to protect her, unaware of another conspiring against them, and that their biggest obstacle will be Fitzwilliam himself.This takes place during the period of the Bingleys and Darcy visiting Netherfield before diverging near the timeline of the Netherfield ball. While Abbey sometimes writes sensual JAFF, this is strictly SWEET.

Meryton is atwitter with the arrival of Mr. Bingley and his friends, but Mr. Darcy leaves a bad first impression on the attendees of the Assembly ball. It's almost enough to detract from the theft that occurs while everyone is inside dancing. Soon enough, other thefts occur throughout the village. Ever curious, Lizzy ventures to find the thief, acquiring an unexpected ally in the endeavor in Fitzwilliam Darcy. As they work together, she gains a more favorable impression of him, but he is the last man with whom she would ever want to solve another mystery. This is part one of the completed five-book "Crime & Courtship" series. They are intended to be read in order and follow roughly the same timeline and locations as J.A.'s masterpiece. The first mystery takes place in Meryton. The next is at Netherfield, followed by Hunsford, then London, and finally Pemberley. The story arc continues throughout all five parts, compromising one long read broken into five sections. A mystery is central to each installment, so you could call this a cozy mystery sweet Regency romance. While Abbey sometimes writes sensual JAFF, this series is strictly SWEET.
