What Hope Has Done: A Pride and Prejudice Variation Romance

“I would tell you that I was driven mad with love for you, but I suppose you would not like a mad person very much.” After Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy are married, what becomes of her other sisters? Discover their stories in the What Time Has Done series. Jane and Charles Bingley are settled in their new home at Whitewood Hall near Kingston—but their lives there are not as happy as they could be. A neighborhood family with great influence has determined that the Bingleys are unworthy of their notice. Jane brings her sister Kitty to live with her, but is sorry to have so few worthy friends to share with her. Among the worst of the offenders is Mr. Thomas Sterling, a brilliant, headstrong, proud young man who is the influential family’s heir. Thomas considers Kitty far beneath him—but she cannot be intimidated by his bullying, and he slowly develops an interest in her as he sees how unlike other women she is. Kitty’s coldness toward Thomas cannot shake his affection toward her, and as they spend more time together, they fall by degrees deeper in love. Thomas’s parents, however, are still prejudiced against the match. Knowing Kitty has changed Thomas for the better, but has he changed enough to risk all he has in the hope of finding happiness with Kitty?
