About this listen
What if Elizabeth didn't decline to dance with Mr. Darcy at Sir William Lucas's behest?
Thus begins The Dance at Lucas Lodge...
When Elizabeth takes Mr. Darcy's hand for a dance at Lucas Lodge, she can't believe she's dancing with such an odious man—meanwhile, Darcy is enamored with her beauty and smiles. But when she confronts him about his rude slight at the Meryton Assembly, Elizabeth is affronted when Mr. Darcy denies having ever slighted her! But when he speaks with Bingley later, Darcy learns that he did, indeed, insult Miss Elizabeth—and he knows he must apologize before he loses Miss Elizabeth's good opinion forever.
When Bingley insists his sisters must invite the angelic Miss Bennet to dine, she gets thrown from her horse due to fright during a storm! Bingley witnesses the fall and races to get Miss Bennet inside, and when it turns out she has a broken leg, she and her sister Elizabeth remain ensconced at Netherfield for weeks—in very close proximity with the two men who consider them to be their angels.
Read on to witness the dual romance between Darcy, Bingley and the two eldest Bennet sisters in Hailey Jones's sweet Pride and Prejudice variation novella The Dance at Lucas Lodge.

Story
It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and Charlotte and Seth are not looking for romance. Armed with emotional-support bear spray, Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation and on guard from men. Having a stalker can do that to a person’s nerves. Just across the hall and giving off woodsy vibes is Seth, a recently divorced arborist. As in today recently. Heights, he’s fine with. Trust? Not so much.

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Story
Liv’s happy with life in her thirties. She has two cats, one BFF, and no boyfriend, which is just how she likes it. Plus, she loves working at a not-for-profit software company where she can be her authentically autistic self. This is her happy ever after. But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job. Sure, Finn had been Liv’s best friend, with his nerdy good looks and their shared love of Tolkien, but there was that one night, their song, and … well, she doesn’t like to talk about it.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

The autumn of 1811 arrives in Hertfordshire with an unexpected breath of joy. Netherfield is finally let, and after several rounds of eager speculation, all of which promise the arrival of a large party to occupy the fine estate, only five figures appear. Yet, through their elegant presence, they bring colour to the otherwise dull and sleepy town. Soon, the arrival of a militia regiment for the winter makes the hearts of all the young ladies beat faster. Alas, around the same time, Mr Bennet’s health rapidly declines, casting dark clouds over Longbourn, which, in the event of his death, ...

What truly occurred at Ramsgate in the summer of 1811 when Miss Darcy journeyed there with her companion, Mrs Younge? Was it mere chance that Mr Bingley chose to lease an estate so near to Longbourn? And was there more significance to the fact that Mrs Gardiner’s family came from Lambton, a town close to Pemberley and the Earl of Matlock’s estate? The Secret of Pemberley delves into these questions and more, weaving together events, imbuing seemingly insignificant details with importance, and introducing a new character—Mrs Wilson, the mother of Mrs Gardiner.

When Fitzwilliam Darcy returns to Netherfield with an outrageous proposal, a false courtship to protect his sister's future, Elizabeth Bennet is certain he has lost his senses.

He gains protection from his aunt's schemes, while she escapes her mother's desperate matchmaking and secures Bingley's return for Jane. Simple, practical, and absolutely not romantic. As ...
