Summary
Acting as the protector of his family's legacy, Darcy tracks George Wickham to Hertfordshire to retrieve a ruinous, stolen diary written by the late Lady Anne Darcy. As Darcy navigates extortion and falls for Elizabeth Bennet, his sister Georgiana launches her own desperate, secret rebellion in London to pay the ransom.
--
It didn’t look dangerous.
It sat on a high shelf in Lady Anne Darcy’s sitting room at Pemberley, wedged between a pristine Peerage of England and a velvet Book of Common Prayer.
The book itself was plain. Scuffed calfskin, soft corners, a blank spine. It looked like the kind of diary meant for watercolor roses and polite thoughts on the weather and the Derbyshire lambing season.
It was not.
Crack the spine, and the illusion vanished. There were no watercolors — just tight, slashing black ink. The pages laid bare the ugly reality of high society: earldoms propped up by blackmail, rivals squeezed out of fortunes, and fools steered into marriages of convenience. It was a ledger of manipulation, written by a woman who felt herself above the society around her.
It held enough secrets to burn two of England’s proudest families to the ground.

Summary
Perhaps Petunia Evans had looked at Vernon Dursley as a rebellion, perhaps as an escape. Either way, it hadn’t been Petunia’s best moment, and now she stood on her little sister’s doorstep with nothing but bad news and a baby.

Summary
Bilbo Baggins, the newly appointed Master of Bag End, has just reached his majority. He lives alone in his fine house, managing his estate, and ignoring the people of Hobbiton as much as they avoid him. When a storm lands him with an unexpected (and unwelcome) little visitor, all Bilbo wants to do is find the baby Dwarf's missing family so he can get back to his own life.
That's not what happens.
