Mary, Quite Contrary [English, Middle] [Large Print]

By Lefki Karantoni

She wants to be undeniable. He wants to be substantial. Neither expects to find it in the other.

Mary Bennet is witnessing the marital bliss of her two eldest sisters to excellent men who adore them. She has no hopes on that front. She knows she is plain, studious, and invisible to the eyes of, well, everyone. She cannot become a great beauty. That is certain. What she can do, though, is become undeniable.

Charles Bingley is painfully aware that he has no purpose. Everything feels vacuous, hollow. Caroline has married and lives blissfully in Kent. Louisa has produced a child. Darcy is happily married. Everyone around him evolves, lives their lives. He is a weathercock. He is shallow. Therefore, he needs to find depth. And the best way to find it is to dig. Literally.

When Mr Charles Bingley glimpses Miss Mary Bennet's depth, he is enthralled. She has what he wants. She has what he needs. And she has a cat named after him, which is not the compliment he hopes it is.

Mary, Quite Contrary is a Pride and Prejudice variation, part of the Pride and Prejudice Resolutions Series. Can be read as a standalone.
