Mr Collins may be a conceited, pompous, narrow-minded, silly man, making him the object of considerable scorn for the Bennet sisters, but Charlotte knows to seize an opportunity when it presents itself. After a week in his irksome company, her friend, Elizabeth, can only see his irritating manner. Whereas Charlotte, after a matter of hours, has already estimated his value and weighed it against the mortification she will undoubtedly have to endure. The opportunity to become the wife of a well-connected clergyman does not come along every day, and in a prudential light, it is certainly a good match for her. Charlotte believes it to be a trade she is willing to accept.
If only she can secure his attention before he must return to Kent.
You’ve read Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice; now read it again from the perspective of Elizabeth Bennet’s friend, Charlotte Lucas, an intelligent young woman, prudent and sensible. Marriage and a comfortable home has always been her object - not love or romance. Charlotte's story is woven into the fabric of the original novel as we follow her eventful year as she makes many discoveries about herself, her husband, and married life as the wife of the vicar of Hunsford parish.
Will Charlotte discover practicality to be a strong enough basis for marriage … or is this a marriage doomed to failure?

Tragedy strikes the Gardiner family and Elizabeth sacrifices her own prospects to help the family heal. She performs a heroic act while in London and then has to deal with the consequences for her and her family. Upon her return to Longhorn she attends the Assembly where Mr. Darcy very much does not act the gentleman. This is the story of a young woman overcoming all that is thrown at her, metaphorically. Caroline Bingley did not literally throw something at Elizabeth, however much she was tempted. This is variation on the classic story, with accurate historical details.

With three daughters married – two of whom most advantageously - her business in life is very nearly complete. Elizabeth Darcy and Jane Bingley have certainly found felicity in marriage as the ladies of Pemberley and Netherfield, enjoying the loving affection of their husbands and everything such positions in society command. But Lydia’s marriage to the unscrupulous George Wickham does not leave her parents or sisters ...

WHEN MR. FITZWILLIAM DARCY RETURNS to Hertfordshire a year after last seeing Elizabeth Bennet, he is surprised to find that she has taken up careering around the countryside in a brand new curricle. Even more surprising is the manner in which their verbal sparring turns to good humor, banter, and flirtation. So much so that her neighbors begin to wonder if their attachment is more than just friendly.

Four of five daughters married! Disposing of so many daughters in marriage, with little more than their good looks and charms to recommend them, is a distinction only Mrs. Bennet can claim, which she does, frequently. Many in Meryton thought such a feat impossible, and consider the Bennets to have been very fortunate indeed when news from Mrs. Darcy, or Mrs. Bingley, or Mrs. Ashworth is generously circulated throughout the village. Their felicity in marriage is assured. Fortunately for those in Meryton and beyond, little has been heard from Mrs. Wickham these four years since, but that ...

The Bennet family is in danger of losing Longbourn. Mary and Mrs. Bennet fear they must soon make way for the Collins family. When that will be and where they shall go preys constantly upon those ladies’ minds. With the shocking death of her husband last September, Mrs. Bennet’s worst fears have been realised. The looming prospect of losing her home is almost too much to bear: her spirits are low, she goes nowhere and receives no one. Not even the arrival of two new grandchildren can improve her mood, one of whom claims rather dubious parentage. Only her hatred of Mr. Collins has the ...

As a child, Elizabeth Bennet's years were split into two distinct segments: her normal life with four rambunctious sisters in Hertfordshire, and summers in Derbyshire on the estate of her father's friend Mr. Darcy. Summertime meant peaks to explore, horses to ride, a library full of books, and friends unlike anyone she knew at home. It was an idyllic escape - until the year that everything came crashing down and summers at Pemberley became no more than a fading memory. When Fitzwilliam Darcy walks into the Meryton Assembly half a decade later, Elizabeth doesn't know how to reconcile the two...
