<DIV>Picking up where Jane Austen&rsquo;s <i>Pride and Prejudice</i> left off, <i>The Bad Miss Bennet</i> takes readers on a wild Regency adventure with Lydia Wickham, n&eacute;e Bennet, who finds herself in dire need of a new husband.<BR><DIV><BR>Lydia was never the most upstanding of the Bennet sisters, but who ever said that moral rectitude was fun?</div><DIV><BR>At least she bested her elder sisters and was the first to get married. She never could understand what all&#160;the fuss was about after she left Brighton with her gallant. It is a shame, though, that Mr. Wickham turned&#160;out to be a disappointing husband in so many aspects, the most notable being his early demise on the&#160;battlefields of Waterloo. And so Lydia, still not yet twenty and full of enterprising spirit, is in urgent need of&#160;a wealthy replacement. A lesser woman, without Lydia&rsquo;s natural ability to flirt uproariously on the dance&#160;floor and cheat seamlessly at the card table, would swoon in the wake of a dashing highwayman, a corrupt&#160;banker, and even an amorous Prince Regent. But on the hunt for a marriage that will make her rich, there&rsquo;s&#160;nothing that Lydia won&rsquo;t turn her hand to. In the meantime, she has no qualms about imposing on her sister&#160;Elizabeth&rsquo;s hospitality at Pemberley. After all, what is the point of having all that fine fortune if not to aid a&#160;poor, newly widowed younger sister?</div><DIV><BR>While Lydia rattles around the continent from Paris to Venice and to the home of the disgraced Princess of&#160;Wales in Italy and back again to Darbyshire, you, dear reader, will be greatly diverted by the new adventures&#160;of Jane Austen&rsquo;s consummate and incorrigible anti-heroine, who never ceases to delight.</div></div>
