Publisher's summary

This is yet another sweet, clean, low-angst Pride and Prejudice Variation. This book of 64,000 words takes Elizabeth and Darcy out of their usual circumstances and meeting places. All of the usual villains are part of the story but minimized significantly. If you enjoy a light-hearted version of Our Dear Couple’s road to Happily Ever After, this may be a book for you.
Excerpt:
Mr. Thomas Bennet massaged his temples as his five-day-old daughter again woke and cried in hungry complaint. He and the wet nurse Mrs. Lindsay had been on the road for two days with the infant, and his nerves had been strained to their limit by the poor babe’s pitiable circumstance – a mother who could not, would not, stand even the sight of her newborn child simply for its misfortune of failing to be born a male and the heir the mother desperately desired for the family’s entailed estate.

Mrs. Bennet had always been an excitable woman, but her husband had been utterly unprepared for her refusal to feed, hold, or even look at her new daughter. The midwife had informed him that she had witnessed this phenomenon in new mothers before, but never to the degree that his wife had displayed when she had threatened to harm the child if it was not removed from her presence. After two days of trying unsuccessfully to coax Mrs. Bennet to at least view the beautiful child, the father had been forced to take action to secure the tiny girl’s life and future.

It must be providential that I heard from my university friend just this week, Bennet thought.

Charming

You’ll love this one if you enjoy Jae George’s ability to weave scripture into new stories starring our favorite characters from P&P. I enjoyed this story’s low angst, clean, sweet, and comical diversion from canon.
