If Mrs Bennet were asked about Mr Darcy’s worth, she would no doubt declare it to be ten thousand pounds a year—and delight in imagining all the advantages such an income would bring her family.

Please note: this is not a new novel but a collection of three ...

Two years prior to canon, spending the summer in Ramsgate with the Gardiners, Elizabeth rescues a cat sent to a cruel death by an evil, vengeful man whose identity is unknown. As much as she searches, Elizabeth cannot find the lawful owner of the cat, so she adopts him and loves him herself.

Especially a love for cats. Although she considers herself a good judge of character, when two men...
