The complete and pure love of one soul, one person who cares to look past all that is mean and stingy about him—that will defeat the curse as surely and soundly as if it had never existed.

MISS JESSABELLE WICKHAM IS GEORGE WICKHAMS OLDER SISTER, a beautiful child raised as part of the family in the steward's cottage at Pemberley. A young lady of uncertain paternity she grew into adulthood believing that George Darcy was the natural father who spurned her as the product of an illicit liaison with her mother. However, even though the elder Mr Darcy did not recognise her as his own, she was welcome at Pemberley until one fateful day when young Master Fitzwilliam Darcy saw to her banishment for behaviour of which he could not approve.

WHEN FITZWILLIAM DARCYS FATHER DIES, he inherits a number of things: the Darcy family fortune, Pemberley, and an unknown and certainly unwanted vendetta from Mrs Younge, the former Jessabelle Wickham. Having been educated in the cunning arts, Mrs Younge visits him and exacts her revenge against him, turning Pemberley into a decaying prison he cannot escape.

WHEN ELIZABETH BENNET TOURS PEMBERLEY six years later with her aunt and uncle, she sees the evidence of a once-beautiful house and lands wholly laid to waste. Yet within the wasteland she finds a portrait, the house as it once was and the handsome gentleman man within who was once its master. Finding herself drawn into the mystery of what befell Pemberley, Elizabeth agrees to unites forces with Darcy in hopes of lifting the curse, but will the love they find in the process be sufficient to set them free?

Cursing Mr Darcy is a Pride and Prejudice variation with just a touch of magic.
