Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam met Elizabeth Bennet at a concert in London. She was the woman of his dreams, perfect in every way – except for the fact that she had no fortune.
But no fortune meant that he could not court or marry her.
Utterly besotted, he tried to stay away from Elizabeth…but day after day, he found himself seeking her out.
Finally, her uncle let him know that, since he had no intentions to marry her, he must stop calling on her.
To never see her again would be intolerable, so Richard offered to introduce her to his mother, the Countess Matlock, who could help Elizabeth meet men of quality.
The day that Elizabeth met his mother, she also met his cousin, Fitzwilliam Darcy.
Richard was astonished to watch Elizabeth and Darcy interact. What had he done? How could he bear to watch this play out? Was there any hope for him?
Pride and Envy is the first of a planned six-part series of novellas. It has about 39,000 words.
