A Pride and Prejudice Christmas VariationBy Lefki Karantoni
Length3h 39m
About this audiobook
A winter storm traps Mr Bingley at Longbourn, with Mr Darcy in tow. During a parlour game gone wrong, Elizabeth hides in the linen closet, Darcy joins her, the latch sticks, and they are discovered together. Darcy proposes on the spot, honourable to a fault.
Elizabeth refuses to wed over a stuck door and suggests a false engagement instead, just until the snow melts. Yet as they endure Longbourn’s chaos, a boisterous household, and Mrs Bennet planning two weddings at once, she begins to see Darcy with new eyes. He confesses his mistakes, laughs with her, and slowly their forced courtship becomes something real.
The Parlour Game Peril is a Pride & Prejudice Christmas variation novella full of snowed-in adventures, accidental compromise, forced proximity, forced marriage, sharp banter and slow, genuine feeling. Humorous, low-angst, clean, and perfect for readers who love watching Darcy earn Elizabeth's 'yes.'
