    Summary

    After accidentally running afoul of a witch in Antigua, Tom finds himself afflicted with a terrible curse, the first step toward breaking which is to find himself a wife; the last person he has in mind as a potential bride is his indigent, creepmouse cousin, Fanny Price, but when he realises his family is trying to pressure her into marrying Henry Crawford (and she apparently doesn't want to), he sees an opportunity for a mutually beneficial arrangement.

    If she marries him instead, and breaks his curse, he'll protect her from unwanted advances elsewhere and provide for her financially for the rest of her life.

    Fanny accepts his offer, despite several vehement objections, truly that desperate to be safe from Mr. Crawford and to help her afflicted cousin.

    There is one rule by which Fanny must abide, but Tom imagines he's in safe enough hands with her.

    After all, Fanny, trustworthy and constant, would never break faith with anyone, never flout anybody's rules. (But what if, one night, she does?)

    Summary

    Set in 1792 - Spring 1793
    Colonel Brandon’s point of view

    ‘Pray do not blame anyone but him. I tell you, none of us can be wrong for believing a kind face and pretty words. He had us all fooled.’ Brandon gripped the seat next to his knees in anguish, if he had found him out, perhaps he could have saved the Dashwoods and his poor Eliza.
