Wickham’s Ward (Pride & Prejudice Variation)

Fitzwilliam Darcy is twenty years old, months from his majority, and trapped beneath the guardianship of the last man he should trust.

George Wickham married Georgiana Darcy years ago and has since made himself indispensable at Pemberley. He controls the estate, its money, and Darcy’s movements.

Then accidents begin to follow the young heir. A damaged carriage. A rotten bridge. A tampered saddle. Darcy knows what Wickham wants, but suspicion is useless without proof.

At Netherfield, Darcy hopes distance will buy him time. Instead, he meets Elizabeth Bennet.

Clever, curious, and unwilling to accept easy explanations, Elizabeth sees more than Darcy can safely reveal.

As Wickham’s reach extends beyond Pemberley, silence becomes dangerous, trust becomes a risk, and the months until August begin to feel very long indeed.

Wickham’s Ward is a full-length Pride and Prejudice variation featuring a younger Darcy, a dangerous Wickham, slow-burn romance, family secrets, and an Elizabeth Bennet determined to understand the truth.
