A Rosings Spy - Paperback

Lady Catherine de Bourgh does not tolerate surprises, particularly romantic ones.

When Fitzwilliam Darcy learns that his aunt has been receiving letters from Hertfordshire describing local society in meticulous detail, he begins to suspect her interest extends beyond idle curiosity. Elizabeth Bennet's name appears far too often for comfort.

Mr. Collins's arrival at Longbourn soon confirms his fears.

Polite, attentive, and excessively well informed, Collins takes an unusual interest in the Bennet family's social habits. Elizabeth finds his questions intrusive and his attention unsettling, particularly when she realizes he's paying closer attention to her interactions with Mr. Darcy than to anyone else's.

As misunderstandings multiply, Elizabeth faces unwanted pressure and expectations she never invited, while Darcy must confront the consequences of allowing others to act in his name. Protecting Elizabeth requires more than quiet distance. It requires honesty, resolve, and the courage to act openly.

A sweet Pride and Prejudice variation with gentle intrigue and a deeply satisfying emotional resolution.
