Presents and Perspective: A Christmas Pride and Prejudice Variation

What child is this? Why, it’s Elizabeth and Mr Darcy’s baby, expected this Christmas!

Insistent that his wife must have the best doctors, Mr Darcy takes the family to London - and as Jane Bingley wishes to support her sister, the Bingleys go likewise. For Caroline Bingley, the plan is very welcome. Though she once saw Elizabeth as nothing more than a rival, Caroline has begun to count her a valued friend.

But while Caroline intended to spend the London Season finding a suitable husband, her plans are thrown into disarray by a chance meeting with a handsome stranger. A poor but brilliant artist, Thom Northville wants nothing more than to paint her for his upcoming show. Knowing that success will raise her own profile in London, Caroline agrees.

Though a match between them would be most unsuitable, Caroline and Thom can’t deny the growing closeness they feel. But when a most eligible suitor offers his attentions, Caroline must make a difficult choice. In the face of everything society tells her she ought to want, does Caroline have the courage to choose love?

Presents and Perspective is perfect for readers seeking Christmas cheer, Mr Darcy doting on a pregnant Elizabeth, Caroline BIngley turning over a new leaf, and happy endings for all. This novella takes place between Sweethearts and Snowflakes and A Rosings Christmas Carol , but all three can be read in any order.
