What if Elizabeth had refused to dance with Mr. Collins at the Netherfield Ball?
Thus begins Refusal to Dance...
When Elizabeth declines dancing with Mr. Collins at the opening of the Netherfield Ball, she is barred from accepting any other dance requests for the remainder of the evening.

“Tell me about this mysterious stranger,” Elizabeth requested. “You mean the Chinaman?” Charlotte clarified. “What does he look like?” “I don’t know,” Charlotte replied. “I thought your mother had met him,” Elizabeth reminded her. “No. The delivery boy told my mother about him. He was bringing a supply of meat and vegetables and reported on what he had heard when he took supplies to the Red Lion.” “So, no one has actually seen him?” Elizabeth asked, incredulous. “All I know is that the man from China is tall, looks to be a proper English gentleman and is ...

I brought her to Pemberley, telling myself it was for her protection. A noble lie. She fights me. Challenges me. Sees through every mask I've crafted. Each day her captivity deepens something darker between us—something neither of us can name. I leave her door unlocked. She stays. Society calls me a gentleman. They don't see the monster that awakens when another man looks at her. They ...
