Chapter 1

[This work is on hiatus]

Elizabeth Bennet's life revolved around saving for grad school, trying to make sure her two youngest sisters actually stayed in school period, and all but running a coffee shop in her small town of Meryton.

The last thing she needed was a wealthy out-of-towner to decide that a local long-abandoned manor house would make the perfect vacation home, and oh, wouldn't it be great to throw a charity event after the house was all fixed up.

What she needed even less, was for her mother to decide that the introduction of rich young men in town was the perfect opportunity to play match-maker.

Too bad she got both.
