A Pride and Prejudice Variation

Lizzie Bennet has lost her father, her social standing, and is now leaving her family behind to become a governess for Mr. Darcy. Despite her change in circumstances, she finds joy and meaning in her new role, as Charles, Mr. Darcy's young son, begins to blossom under her tutelage. However, her employer is arrogant, rude, and disdainful. He opens a window to the world she left behind, but humiliates her for her change in social status as well as her encroaching spinsterhood. Determined not to allow him to treat her so scornfully, Lizzie finds herself unable to hide her forthright nature as she stands up for herself and for Charles. When disaster strikes, Lizzie and Darcy need to come together to save Georgiana, Mr. Darcy's sister, from societal ruin. But how close can they really become when he is a proud and wealthy gentleman and she a humble governess?
