The Colonel's Brother Stephanie Vale

What if Darcy's cousin - a future earl - shows an interest in Elizabeth? Can Darcy earn her good opinion before he loses her forever?

It is early spring in Kent. Fitzwilliam Darcy and his cousin Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam are making their annual visit to the estate of their aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, and her daughter Anne. Lady Catherine has not given up her plan for Anne to marry her cousin Darcy. But a few months ago Darcy met a young woman, Elizabeth Bennet, who attracts him more than anyone he has ever known, and as luck would have it she is also in Kent, just next door, visiting her best friend, who is married to Lady Catherine's parson.

Then Richard's elder brother, the Viscount Leicester, shows up unexpectedly. He is looking for a wife, and the very pretty Miss Elizabeth catches his eye....
