The Darcys’ First Christmas: The Disappearance

After a blissful honeymoon, Elizabeth Darcy from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is thrilled to see her sister Jane again as the two prepare to spend their first Christmas with their new husbands. But when distressing news arrives from their family at Longbourn, it overthrows their plans. With the shame of her sister Lydia’s elopement still fresh in her mind, Elizabeth fears the worst-and worries that this new proof of her family’s folly will test Darcy’s attachment to her. Can their love endure this new challenge? Or will their first Christmas together be their last?
This clean and wholesome Pride and Prejudice variation is a Regency novella with a happy ending and no cliffhanger.
