The Cravat Scandal

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

By: Ella Paul

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When a Cravat and a Rose Thorn Change Everything...

Elizabeth Bennet returns to Netherfield expecting nothing more than a pleasant visit with her newly married sister.
She certainly does not expect Mr Darcy to be among the guests—or for a single moment of unexpected tenderness in the rose garden to turn her world upside down.

When Darcy gallantly tends a scratch on her hand, binding it with his own cravat before sheltering her from a sudden spring storm, it ought to be nothing more than a fleeting kindness.

But the next morning, his cravat is found—tangled scandalously among the garden roses—and Meryton erupts in gossip.

Caroline Bingley sharpens her claws. Mrs Bennet calculates dowries.
And Elizabeth is thrust into the centre of a social tempest that threatens her reputation and everything she thought she knew about the proud, private gentleman whose smallest gesture now looms large in every whispered conversation.

Sometimes, the most innocent moments spark the most scandalous consequences.
And sometimes, scandal is exactly what two stubborn hearts need to finally find their way to each other.

With reputations at stake and gossip swirling like the storm that started it all, Elizabeth and Darcy must navigate forced proximity, public pressure, and private longing.
What began as an accident may unravel their pride—and bind them together forever.

A witty, romantic, and delightfully scandalous Pride and Prejudice variation—Book Two in the Paths to Pemberley series.
