Description: Mr Wickham turned out to be a disappointing husband in many ways, the most notable being his early demise on the battlefield of Waterloo. And so Lydia Wickham, nee Bennet, must make her fortune independently. A lesser woman, without Lydia's natural ability to flirt uproariously on the dance floor and cheat seamlessly at the card table, would swoon in the wake of a dashing highwayman, a corrupt banker and even an amorous royal or two. But on the hunt for a marriage that will make her rich, there's nothing that Lydia won't turn her hand to.
