"I am not romantic, you know; I never was. I only ask a comfortable home..." - Charlotte Lucas When Charlotte Lucas becomes Mrs. Collins, she believes she has achieved her heart's desire, but from the moment she crosses the threshold at Hunsford, another woman asserts power over the household ~ Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Though her marriage appears outwardly happy, Charlotte cannot ignore the oppressive influence of her husband's patroness. She accepts Mr. Darcy's offer to take her to London to visit her friend Eliza Bennet, where a charming rogue takes an unsettling interest ~ in Charlotte! Charlotte's escape to London merely delays the inevitable. She must stand up to Lady Catherine or she will never have a home that is truly her own. But Charlotte returns to Hunsford a changed woman and unprepared to face an obstacle more unnerving than her nemesis ~ for she never dreamed that romance would interfere with her happy marriage.
