Are the Shades of Pemberley to be thus Polluted? Jane Austen's stories may focus on the romantic rewards of her principled heroines, but there are the less-than-proper ladies who surrender to their passions and abandon propriety, with wanton disregard for their family reputations- all for the often short-lived affection of a top-hatted, cravat wearing bad boy. These steamy secret diaries reveal what happened the night Lydia stole away with Wickham, how Lucy Steele seduced the brother of her fiance, why Isabella Thorpe ended up in bed with the heir to Northanger Abbey, and more. Celebrating the gloriously greedy, brazen, and more-fashionable-than-you women of Austen, these steamy stories will have readers cheering for the bad girl.
