Charlotte Lucas is considered plain and quite on the shelf, but she is clever and practical. Understanding her own situation better than most, she is ready to face an unmarried life. However, things change when at the Meryton assembly in April of 1811, she meets the newest members of their society, who includes Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam. How will the pair find happiness when, despite their mutual attraction, her dowry is known to be small, and he, as a second son, is without a great income? This is a clean, sweet romantic variation of Pride and Prejudice.
