  Four rollicking romps through the world of Jane Austen – and four devious schemes standing in the way of Happily Ever After….

  Home Alone at Longbourn: After Elizabeth Bennet’s temper boils over at a family celebration, she awakens the next morning to an empty house, and she is all alone when she overhears a pair of devious burglars planning a heist at her home.

  Meanwhile, Mr.

  Darcy’s journey to Pemberley is interrupted by a snowstorm, leading him and his sister to seek refuge at Longbourn, where they team up with Elizabeth to defend her home in a series of high-stakes holiday hijinks.

  Kindly Meant Interference: Mr.

  Darcy knows that Caroline Bingley is listening when he tells her brother Charles that he will never offer for her – but he never expects her to play matchmaker, ensuring that the next mistress of Pemberley is a friend of hers, if not herself.

  Elizabeth is unaware of the schemes afoot as she softens toward Mr.

  Darcy, but Georgiana’s jealousy, Colonel Fitzwilliam’s flirtations, and Wickham’s lies unsettle the fragile balance of budding romance.

  Darcy and Elizabeth must confront their own pride and prejudice—and each other—before the opportunity for happiness slips away.

  Outmatched: When Sir Thomas Bertram returns to Mansfield after a year in Antigua, he expects respite from his many troubles, but instead he is met with blackmail, collusion, and the ominous threat of scandal.

  When Mrs. Dashwood takes her daughters to Barton Cottage, she carries with her a secret hope that they might someday return home.

  A mutual connection bent on manipulation and revenge sets the stage for heartbreak, intrigue, and plenty of surprises as the worlds of Sense & Sensibility and Mansfield Park collide.

  Elinor & Marianne Dashwood, Maria Bertram, Fanny Price, and Mary Crawford forge new friendships and alliances amidst the whirlwind of conspiracy, romance, redemption, and self-discovery, the likes of which Norland Park has never seen before.

  Preference & Neglect: After joining her wealthy hotelier uncle in Sanditon, Elizabeth comes to the aid of a newcomer in the idyllic seaside town. Two years after insulting her in Meryton, Mr.

  Darcy is now grateful for Elizabeth’s lifeline of friendship.

  Her compassion for his recent heartbreak and contempt for his estranged fiancée tempt her into helping him in a ruse engineered by his impudent cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam.

  Together, Elizabeth repels an unwanted suitor and Mr. Darcy endeavors to rekindle a romance with the woman who has forsaken him for a rakish and frivolous fortune hunter.

  As secrets come to light and chaos swirls around them, Darcy and Elizabeth’s feigned courtship captivates all of Sanditon with one question: will they or won’t they?

  From social-climbing sisters to vengeful old widows, inconstant lovers to avaricious officers, our most beloved Austen couples face intrigue and schemes… and a few unlikely routes to romance….
