The bad Miss Bennet abroad / Jean Burnett.

After George Wickham's untimely demise on the battlefield at Waterloo, merry widow Lydia Wickham, nee Bennet, is in want of a rich husband. Failing to find one in Europe, she embarks on a voyage to Brazil accompanied by her trusty maid, Adelaide, to join the exiled Portuguese Court in Rio de Janeiro. She soon catches the eye of the heir, Dom Pedro. Staying out of trouble doesn't come naturally to Lydia, as she is captured by pirates, then makes a second disastrous marriage, and even finds ways to ruin the Darcys' tranquil existence all over again. Will she ever succeed in her quest for "an agreeable husband with an estate and two matching footmen", or will her taste for adventure lead her astray once more?
