A Season of Misunderstanding

All five books in the Season of Misunderstanding series collected into one volume. A Sister's Fault Jane Bennet has been gifted an opportunity and she is not afraid to use it, feigning illness in order that she might remain a little longer under the Netherfield roof, and hopefully move one step closer to securing Mr Bingley's heart. She doesn't expect her sister to arrive, bedraggled and covered in mud, ready to spoil everything she is working for! Fitzwilliam Darcy's interest in Elizabeth Bennet grows when, out of sisterly devotion, she treks miles to be at Jane's side and restore her to health. When she is similarly stricken he finds himself emulating behaviour he has all too recently despised in his friend. He cannot help it, and is rapidly developing an affection for the young woman he scorned at the Meryton Assembly. When he overhears a conversation that suggests the illness that kept both ladies at Netherfield was a lie, he realises his first assessment was correct. Elizabeth Bennet and her sister are manipulating their way into marriage, and he is determined to stop them A Friend's Betrayal Intent on avoiding both Elizabeth Bennet and her manipulative sister, Fitzwilliam Darcy whisks Charles Bingley back to London, abandoning Elizabeth to her own obstinacy, convincing himself he cares nothing for her. Eager to support her sister, Elizabeth finds herself at odds with first Mr Darcy and then her family as her attempts to divert Mr Collins and encourage Jane all come to nought. Her fledgling friendship with Mr Wickham causes her still more isolation and Elizabeth is left wondering if she has put her trust in the wrong people? An Aunt's Assistance Elizabeth Bennet is bound for London - to stay with her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner and escape a sisterly feud dividing Longbourn. She knows only one thing will restore Jane's friendship to her, and is determined to use her time in London to reunite her sister with Mr Bingley, even if that means crossing paths with Mr Darcy once more. Fitzwilliam Darcy thought that escaping Hertfordshire would mean escaping Elizabeth Bennet, but with his newly-arrived cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, determined to interfere can he ever hope to keep his true feelings hidden? A Cousin's Courage Rushing North with Charles Bingley, Colonel Fitzwilliam can't help but acknowledge the absence of such reckless love in his own life. Poised to make a change, how will this new love survive a trial nobody expected? Left in London, Elizabeth Bennet's hopes for Jane's wellbeing rest on the shoulders of her absent friends…until Georgiana Darcy arrives with news of Jane and a plan to match her brother and Lizzy once and for all. A Husband's Love In the wake of his brother's sudden death, Colonel Fitzwilliam's life is thrown into turmoil but he is left to weather the gathering storms alone as his key confidante, his cousin, is distracted from helping by his own rapidly changing circumstances. Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet have finally acknowledged their long-growing affections for one another and plan to marry as soon as possible. Lizzy ought to be completely happy. But with one sister still estranged from her and another whose own happiness looks set to be usurped she has her work cut out in ensuring her whole family - and not just her - might face a happier future.
