Fitzwilliam Darcy’s annual spring visit to Rosings is not going as planned. His aunt is behaving like a madwoman, his cousin Anne is sullen, and worst of all, he proposes to the woman he loves and is turned down quite vehemently. Darcy beats a hasty retreat to London, hoping to put the entire visit behind him, and to purge the elusive, lovely Elizabeth Bennet from his thoughts. Elizabeth is mired in a tumultuous mixture of emotions when it comes to Mr. Darcy. He is highhanded, aggravating, and proud, but he is also perplexing, honest, and surprisingly kind to those in need. Another perplexing individual, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, gives Elizabeth the opportunity to delve into Mr. Darcy’s world of charitable endeavors. Will this show Elizabeth a new side of a man she once adamantly refused to marry? Charitable Endeavors is a Pride & Prejudice Variation novel of approximately 90,000 words. We hope you enjoy this entertaining and sweet collaboration between Renata McMann and Summer Hanford, who have written over thirty variations together.
