The Pemberley Provocations by Vivian Reed. ★★★★☆

This is a pride and prejudice variation with two ongoing layers. 

Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth Darcy have been married for a year. The initial tender intimacies of marriage have matured into something that is definitely more kink, than vanilla.

Suddenly they face yet another scandal caused by Elizabeth's family. 

The loud, vulgar Mrs Bennet and the vacuous Kitty, descend on Pemberley as uninvited guests. They are running from something, but won't admit the details. 

Darcy is trying hard to protect the family from threats of violence and ruined reputation. 

He retreats from Elizabeth, slipping into old patterns of behaviour.

The intrigue is suitably engaging and unpredictable.

The intimacy is erotic, explicit and includes novel uses for a hairbrush!
