Between Frost and Friendship: A Pride and Prejudice Christmas Tale

Christmas at Netherfield: the perfect setting for romance? Not when Elizabeth Bennet finds herself caught between three very different gentlemen while tending to her pregnant sister.

Captain Harper quotes her favorite poets and champions her causes—he should be perfect. The charming George Wickham makes her laugh and sets local hearts aflutter. And then there's the insufferable Mr. Darcy, whose dark eyes and cutting remarks shouldn't affect her at all … yet somehow do.

Between snowball fights and candlelit games of Snapdragon, Elizabeth glimpses unexpected warmth beneath Darcy's frozen exterior. When a servant's tragedy reveals his true character, Elizabeth's carefully guarded heart begins to thaw. But Darcy isn’t free, and Elizabeth discovers too late that his cousin, Anne, has a claim on his hand.

Will a Christmas miracle set hearts free? Or will happiness slip away like frost in the morning sun?

This enchanting Pride and Prejudice variation combines Jane Austen’s wit and romance with the magic of a Regency Christmas: banter and games, misunderstandings and moments of tenderness, all wrapped up in a cozy holiday romance that would make even Lady Catherine approve (though she’d never admit it).

Historical liberties were taken concerning Christmas or Yuletide traditions. The time period is somewhere in the generic past, although not strictly Regency England.
