A Festive Pride and Prejudice Variation Books 7-9

Three Christmassy Pride and Prejudice Variations

Christmas in Kent
An impromptu decision to spend Christmas with their cousin at Hunsford Parsonage puts the Bennet family into Lady Catherine de Bourgh's orbit - and reunites two people who thought they'd said their last farewell: Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.

When a desire for family brings Colonel Fitzwilliam and Georgiana down to Kent to round out the party, will Christmas magic spell romance for more than one couple this festive season?

A Midsummer Christmas
Happily married and settled at Pemberley, Elizabeth Darcy's mind inevitably turns to securing a similar happiness for those around her - namely, for her sister-in-law and friend, Georgiana Darcy.

When word reaches them of their cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam's plans to visit Derbyshire during the summer, Lizzy decides they must celebrate the Christmas he was unable to mark in winter. The unusual festivities capture everyone's imaginations, and prompt Mr and Mrs Darcy to spot the possibility of romance between Georgiana and Colonel Fitzwilliam - but are they mistaken or will love triumph at Christmas, even a Christmas celebrated in summertime?

When Snow Fell on Longbourn
Their hopes of a truly happy Christmas dashed by the absence of their new friends at Netherfield, Lizzy Bennet is still determined to enjoy a quiet Christmas at home with her family - until a very heavy snowfall crashes through the roof of Longbourn and puts all their plans to ruin!

Charles Bingley's excuse for a fleeting visit to Netherfield Park is a flimsy one, but when Fitzwilliam Darcy agrees to accompany him, he certainly does not expect a sudden shift in the weather to leave them stranded in Hertfordshire for Christmas - much less to see the very family he had hoped to avoid are in need of just the kind of neighbourly assistance Bingley gleefully offers.

Gallantry gives way to humility but will a significant injury to Mr Darcy's pride soften his spirit enough for the true magic of Christmas to work a happy ending for him and Elizabeth Bennet - the young lady he cannot remain oblivious to, despite his best efforts...
