What if the disastrously insulting proposal Elizabeth Bennet received at Hunsford were not a proposal of marriage at all?

When an invitation comes from Elizabeth Bennet's newly married friend, Charlotte Lucas, she cannot refuse the requested visit. What she did not expect was that a certain disagreeable gentleman would be in residence at Rosings Park. But when Elizabeth's confrontation with the gentleman becomes not only a discovery of his unapologetic role in her sister Jane's heartbreak and Mr. Bingley's absence from Hertfordshire, but also a proposal of something so scandalous that Elizabeth begins to doubt everything she has ever known about love and marriage.

She is not fit to be married to someone like Fitzwilliam Darcy, and perhaps her dream of finding the very deepest love has been just that: a foolish dream. But is becoming the mistress of a wealthy gentleman the only way for her to find any happiness in this life?

"As a Blossom Awaits a Bee" is a sensual and steamy Pride and Prejudice variation best read by those over 18 years of age.
