Mr Darcy Bets on Love: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
She married for love. London says he married for a bet.
When Fitzwilliam Darcy overhears a country girl defending him to a room full of gossips, before she has even seen his face, the proudest man in England loses his heart in a single evening. Within four months, Elizabeth Bennet is Mrs Darcy, and she has never been happier.
Then they arrive in London.
An anonymous paragraph in a scandal sheet claims that Mr Darcy of Pemberley married a penniless squire's daughter to win a wager at White's. Invitations vanish. Old friends look away. Hostesses turn their backs on the stairs. And as the whispers grow crueller, someone begins printing secrets that only an intimate could know, until even Georgiana's long-buried past is no longer safe.
Elizabeth could doubt him. Darcy could retreat to Pemberley. Instead, they take on the ton together, hand in hand, following a trail of forged letters, false friends and paid informers to a saboteur far closer than either of them imagined.
But evidence alone will not silence London. To prove to the whole of society that his marriage was never a jest, Mr Darcy must place the most public wager of his life.
The Darcy Wager is a sweet-to-warm Pride and Prejudice variation
A devoted Darcy who never doubts his wifeA married couple who face every storm togetherA scandal mystery with red herrings and a satisfying unmaskingSurprising allies, including Lady Catherine and even Caroline BingleyLove letters, a midnight ride, and one unforgettable grand gestureLow-to-medium angst, a few tasteful love scenes, and a guaranteed happily ever after

Did he?
Someone is determined to spread dissension and doubt, doing so most effectively except where it matters most. Elizabeth and Darcy are a united front to any and all. Some characters are allies instead of villains. The schemer and assistant get their just desserts, and eventually ODC their happily ever after.
