Elizabeth Bennet finds herself enjoying her stay in Kent more than expected. Amidst the humor of Lady Catherine's antics and the pleasant company of Colonel Fitzwilliam, Elizabeth finds her initial perceptions shifting, especially concerning the introverted Anne de Bourgh. But the tranquility of Kent transforms into chaos when a humorous incident spirals into a disastrous accident, leaving Anne critically injured. Elizabeth becomes an unexpected beacon of strength amidst the turmoil. Elizabeth, Charlotte, and Mr. Darcy are thrust into the heart of a crisis that leaves Anne de Bourgh critically injured and their lives irrevocably changed. As they navigate the tragedy, secrets are kept, alliances are formed, and the threat of Lady Catherine's wrath hangs over them. Meanwhile, Mr. Darcy grapples with the consequences of the tragedy, his concern for Anne, and his growing admiration for the woman who is holding it all together. As the crisis unfolds, Darcy and Elizabeth are drawn together, their relationship evolving in ways that challenge their pride, prejudice, and everything they thought they knew.

I've been writing since I was 5 years old. I've always had to set it aside and try to concentrate on so-called 'real life' though. I've had a number of interesting careers - engineer, real estate sales agent, owner of an electrical goods store, silversmith - but finally the time has come for me to return to my first love. Writing. I've always loved the works of Jane Austen, so perhaps it's fitting that my first published work should be a variation on the much beloved Pride And Prejudice. Visit my website, www.catherinebilson.com, to read several free short fics in the Pride and Prejudice fandom, and to leave me comments on my work! I also write not-for-profit fanfiction set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and if you'd like to read those free works please go to the Archive Of Our Own and search for the user handle ozhawk.
