He wanted to be less alone. She wanted a comfortable home.
Miss Charlotte Lucas is seven-and-twenty, plain, and under no illusions. When Mr Collins is rejected by Elizabeth Bennet, Charlotte sees an opportunity, and grabs it with both hands. Mr Collins might be tedious, but he offers her the keys to the Hunsford parsonage pantry and a future free from her father's endless anecdotes; she accepts with clear eyes, because love was never part of her calculations.
Mr Collins was sent to Longbourn by his patroness, the formidable Lady Catherine de Bourgh, to heal the breach the entail has caused. When his cousin rejects him, the most sensible and convenient solution is the plain, sensible friend.
A marriage of convenience in a frost-bound January ought to be a simple arrangement. But the wedding is moved from auspicious Wednesday to ill-fated Friday, and superstition is the least of her troubles. Lady Catherine awaits, and she means to govern the parsonage down to its very laundress.
A Comfortable Home is a Pride and Prejudice variation that reclaims two of Jane Austen's most overlooked characters and gives them a story of their own. A clean, slow-burn, historical romance of courage, hard-won respect, and a love that grows not from grand passion, but from kept promises. It is a Jane Austen-inspired variation which stays close to the canon, and it is perfect for readers who love cozy Regency romance, Jane Austen fan fiction, and the women's friendship at the heart of Regency England.
