Bingley's Deception

Ten years of friendship. One decade of lies. And a dog who saw it all.

In Bingley’s Deception, the "Hero of Oxford" is a wolf in silk clothing. William Darcy has spent his adult life in the shadow of a life-debt, believing Charles Bingley saved him from a brutal attack during their university days. Bound by honor and a misplaced sense of loyalty, Darcy remains blind to the fact that his best friend is a cold-blooded fraudster running a fraud scheme on the London Exchange.

While Darcy provides the social shield Bingley needs to hunt his next victims, a tiny Yorkshire Terrier named Button recognizes the predator behind the practiced smile. When an honest George Wickham—an investigator trained in the grit of trade—threatens to expose the fraud, Bingley turns to murder to protect his masquerade.

The resulting ambush on a narrow Hertfordshire lane leaves Darcy wounded and the party trapped at Longbourn. As a midnight siege looms and an assassin stalks the woods, an unlikely team must rise to save the Master of Pemberley: a brilliant barrister named William Collins, a resilient Elizabeth Bennet, and the dog who never let the truth go. In this gripping novella, the ledger of the past is finally settled, proving that integrity is found not in a gentleman’s rank, but in his deeds.
