The Beginning of Prudence

An overheard conversation, a chance to right a wrong, a trip to Rosings that will be like no other

Three and a half months in town has not been long enough for Fitzwilliam Darcy to clear his head or his heart of thought about the lady who charmed him in Hertfordshire. When he overhears part of Elizabeth Bennet's conversation with her aunt at the theatre, he is first surprised to know she is in town, and then, he's mortified to discover just what she thinks of him. Upon learning she is on her way to Kent, he puts together a plan to improve in her opinion. With the help of his sister, cousins, and a heart that likes to speak before it thinks, he just might find this year's trip to Rosings to be the most unusual and fulfilling of his life.

The Beginning of Prudence is a novelette of just over 18,000 words and is the fifth installment in Leenie Brown's Teatime Tales Collection of Austen-inspired quick reads. If you're looking for a romantic and entertaining escape from the everyday, then you'll enjoy this story where a swoon-worthy and determined Darcy pursues and secures a happy future with the lady who holds his heart.
