The Bennet Sons

A Pride and Prejudice Variation, Part One

Five brothers. One inheritance.

At Longbourn, the Bennet sons have been raised to think clearly, speak with care, and—eventually—marry women of the highest distinction. James, the eldest, will inherit the estate; Miles looks toward the clergy; Kit dreams of healing; and Laurence longs for glory in uniform. Only Elias—the quiet, reflective second son—seeks nothing more than study, silence, and freedom from all entanglements. Until he meets Miss Georgiana Darcy.

Self-possessed, intelligent, and exceptionally well-connected, Georgiana Darcy is hardly a lady a provincial gentleman might court without consequence. Nor is she in any pressing need of a husband. Yet from their very first conversation, Elias finds himself drawn into a contest of wit and sensibility—one he never intended to enter, and cannot quite bring himself to escape.

But family expectations run deep. Fitzwilliam Darcy guards his sister with caution born of painful experience. Lady Catherine de Bourgh has opinions enough for three families. And the match between a Darcy and a Bennet son—however promising—may prove more difficult than either dares hope.

Will reason conquer pride, or will love take its own course?

A romantic Regency variation filled with wit, unexpected alliances, and a slow-burn courtship that reshapes everything you thought you knew about Longbourn.
