Who could have guessed that Elizabeth’s surprise inheritance would cause so much trouble?

An express brings shocking news to Longbourn: a distant relative has left Elizabeth Bennet a fortune! But Elizabeth soon learns that even blessings can come with complications. With sudden wealth comes an overwhelming influx of suitors, from the charming Mr Wickham to the bold Colonel Fitzwilliam. Indeed, it seems the only man indifferent to her new wealth is Mr Darcy, who has already made it very clear that, fortune or no fortune, she is beneath him. And though Elizabeth doesn’t know why Mr Darcy has suddenly left Netherfield, it can only be a relief to be freed from his judgemental gaze.

Mr Darcy only intended to caution Mr Bingley against an unwise marriage. But when his mild-mannered friend takes offense, the resulting conversation goes so badly that Mr Bingley orders him to leave. And his retreat from Netherfield is not entirely unwelcome, for Mr Darcy suspects it may be his only chance to avoid being utterly undone by love for Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

Little does Mr Darcy suspect that separation will not be enough to cool his feelings. Worse still, when he next sees Elizabeth, he will learn that she is Colonel Fitzwilliam’s latest infatuation　and Mr Wickham’s next target. Mr Darcy no longer has any doubts about what he wants: to make Elizabeth his wife, and to love her forever.

But can he win Elizabeth’s heart in time to avert disaster?

A Wealth of Suitors is a witty and romantic story about Our Dear Couple finding a treasure even greater than wealth: a deep and abiding love for each other. Readers can expect misunderstood intentions, dastardly schemes, and (too) many suitors, ending in a very strong happily ever after for Elizabeth and Mr Darcy…and a surprise twist you won’t see coming!
