The worst has happened – Anne de Bourgh and George Wickham are married.

Fitzwilliam Darcy is willing to accommodate the couple at Pemberley for Anne's sake if not for her husband's, for he puts little faith in Wickham's promised intentions to change.

With Georgiana temporarily displaced by the new arrivals, Elizabeth embarks on the running of Pemberley whilst keeping her new family together. How will the new Mr and Mrs Darcy fare in trying to do what is best for their family and friends, as well as preserving their own happiness?

The Consequence of Haste is book five of A Convenient Marriage, a Pride and Prejudice variation novella series.
