Authors Note: If youre in search of a Pride and Prejudice Variation that explores the theme of found family, marriages of convenience, and introduces a touch of danger, I strongly suggest giving this novel a chance. Lydia Acquires Adoration is the fifth and final installment in the Bennet Ladies Liberation series. If youve read Kittys story, you may recall Sebastien and his twin Selene, who befriended Kitty during her debut in London. While it is possible to read this story as a standalone, it is highly recommended to experience it in conjunction with the series for a richer understanding.
