The Miseducation of Caroline Bingley

By Lindz McLeod

Pride, prejudice, and…lessons in love?

Jane Austen meets My Fair Lady in this joyful, clever opposites-attract Sapphic romance featuring Caroline Bingley and Darcy’s younger sister, Georgiana.

Being snubbed by Mr Darcy—passed over for Elizabeth Bennet, no less—is humiliating.

Being told she’s arrogant and unkind, and that if she doesn’t mend her ways, she might never find love…that’s simply preposterous. Isn’t it?

Feeling the sting of Darcy’s rejection, Caroline Bingley does what any self-respecting woman of means would do: she hatches a plan. Get Georgiana Darcy, the epitome of grace and sweetness, to teach Caroline how to be perfect like her.

But Caroline’s transformation from status-hungry socialite to proper marriage material won’t be easy. She must be charming, and even worse… she must be kind. And Georgiana herself isn’t so sure about playing fairy godmother. Beneath Miss Darcy’s polished facade lies an entirely different set of struggles.

As the two grow closer, Caroline discovers she’s less interested in securing a man, and more intrigued by the woman helping her to reform her character. Before long, their lessons in finding love and acceptance blossom into something completely unexpected…
