These Ardent Stars

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife-or, perhaps, a new starship. Mama was convinced of the latter, but it was impossible to know the truth.



When two rich young gentlemen arrive at Meryton Station in the Hertfordshire Quadrant, they don't go unnoticed-especially when Mrs. Bennett vows to have one of her five daughters marry into their fortunes.



But love, like the distant stars, is rarely uncomplicated, and often surprising.



It's only a matter of time until their own small worlds are turned upside down and they discover that first impressions can be the most misleading of all.

These Ardent Stars is a clean, science-fiction inspired Pride and Prejudice variation that has been re-imagined in the far future and is suitable for adventurous lovers of Jane Austen's romantic classic.
