When a Cravat and a Rose Thorn Change Everything! Now, all of Meryton is in an uproar.

Elizabeth Bennet returns to Netherfield expecting nothing more than a pleasant visit with her newly married sister.
She certainly doesn't expect Mr. Darcy to be among the guests—or for a moment of unexpected tenderness in the rose garden to turn her world upside down.

When Darcy gallantly bandages a small injury with his own cravat, then shelters her from a sudden storm, it should have been a private kindness forgotten by morning.

Instead, his cravat is discovered tangled in the garden roses, and all of Meryton erupts in delicious scandal.
Caroline Bingley sharpens her claws for gossip warfare. Mrs. Bennet calculates marriage settlements.

Elizabeth finds herself at the center of a social tempest that threatens everything she thought she knew about reputation, love, and the proud gentleman whose smallest gesture has set her heart—and her world—spinning.
Sometimes the most innocent moments create the most scandalous consequences. And sometimes scandal is exactly what two stubborn hearts need to finally find their way to each other.

With reputations at stake and countryside gossip swirling, a whirlwind of social scandal engulfs Elizabeth and Darcy. But as forced proximity gives way to deeper understanding, what began as an accidental encounter might just unravel their pride…and tie them together forever.

A witty and irresistible Pride and Prejudice variation—Book Two in the Paths to Pemberley series.
