The Investigator's Intended: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

He needs a cover story. She needs his attention elsewhere. They are both lying. It is the most honest thing either of them has done. Darcy is working for the Home Office. The fraud he is investigating has led him to Meryton, and he needs a reason to stay. The reason he settles on is Elizabeth Bennet.  She agrees. She has her own reasons, which she does not disclose. He has his, which he does not disclose either.
The arrangement is temporary, the engagement is false, and everything they do together over the next three months is entirely real.  The investigation will require them to trust each other completely. Neither of them planned on that."The Investigator's Intended" is a slow-burn marriage-of-convenience romance for readers who want their Darcy competent, their Elizabeth capable, and their partnership earned the hard way.
