Lady de Bourgh's Lover

This romantic Pride and Prejudice novel offers a gentler, low-angst variation in which Rosings becomes the centre of scandal, deception, and an unexpected beginning in the relationship between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.

Lady Catherine de Bourgh had grown weary of those who sought her favour. They agreed with every word she uttered, yet proved wholly inept when required to perform even the simplest task. The clergyman from the Westerham parish carried out his duties with commendable diligence, while the former incumbent of Hunsford persisted in appearing at Rosings uninvited, forever armed with pretexts and entreaties for money. True, the parish was small and his stipend modest, but his constant appeals to her ladyship’s generosity had become intolerably tiresome.

For the time being, it appeared that Mr. Collins would be content with his modest living. Yet Lady Catherine had grown sceptical of flatterers and their endless professions of loyalty.

Providence intervened when she received a letter from another candidate—one warmly recommended by a person of distinction whom her ladyship greatly esteemed. She resolved not to inform Mr. Collins that he had been granted the Hunsford living and instead invited the new applicant, whose correspondence revealed both refinement and restraint, free from the tiresome extravagance of empty flattery.

The rest, dear reader, is for you to discover. In this alternate telling of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy meet under different circumstances, yet their love knows no bounds and no obstacle proves strong enough to divide them. With minimal angst and a tender unfolding of affection, their story moves gently toward a heartfelt and happy conclusion.

This second edition features additional content, expanded scenes, and refined editing for an improved reading experience.
