Reader, I Married Him: A Jane Eyre Inspired Pride and Prejudice Variation

By Timothy Underwood

Elizabeth Bennet finds herself in the unfamiliar role of a governess.

Disowned by her mother for refusing a marriage proposal from the insipid Mr. Collins, she seeks refuge with her friend Charlotte Collins. An opportunity arises for her to serve as a governess at Pemberley, the grand estate of the enigmatic Mr. Darcy.

As she steps into her new life, Elizabeth is greeted by the grandeur of Pemberley and its inhabitants, including the shy and reserved Georgiana Darcy, and the housekeeper, Mrs. Reynolds. And she is haunted by the echoes of a strange laughter and the chilling tales of Mr. Darcy's deceased wife.

When Mr. Darcy returns, Elizabeth is drawn into a whirlwind of emotions. His cold demeanor begins to thaw, revealing a man burdened by his past and struggling with his duties. Just as Elizabeth begins to envision a future at Pemberley, a series of strange events shatter her newfound happiness. Will Elizabeth be forced to leave the man and the home she has grown to love?
