About this listen
When tragedy strikes Longbourn in mid 1811, the Bennet family faces an uncertain future. Mr. Bennet's passing leaves Mr. Collins as heir, and his bitterness over Elizabeth's rejection of his marriage proposal prompts a cruel ultimatum — the Bennets must vacate Longbourn before the new year. Desperate to avoid homelessness, Mrs. Bennet declares that her daughters must secure marriages before Christmas or face the harsh reality of seeking refuge with distant relatives in London.
Determined to take control of her own fate, Elizabeth Bennet seeks employment rather than be forced into a loveless marriage. Her search leads her to Netherfield, where she is hired as Georgiana Darcy’s companion. Her new role brings her into frequent contact with Mr. Darcy, whose pride clashes with Elizabeth's independent spirit. Their interactions are laced with tension, misunderstandings, and a growing awareness neither of them can fully ignore.
But as Christmas approaches and the stakes rise, will pride and prejudice give way to love? Can Elizabeth see beyond Darcy's aloof exterior? And will Darcy overcome his reservations about Elizabeth’s social standing? As holiday cheer fills the air, fate weaves a tale of second chances and unexpected romance.
A GROOM BEFORE CHRISTMAS is a heartwarming Pride and Prejudice variation filled with love, wit, and holiday charm. If you enjoy enemies-to-lovers romance, Regency intrigue, and a festive happily-ever-after, this enchanting tale will leave you longing for more.
