Elizabeth's Christmas Entrapment
(2025)(A book in the Pride and Prejudice Variation series)
A novel by Juliana Abbott
A compromised Christmas… a marriage born of a trap and a love neither expected.
Elizabeth Bennet never expects Mr. Bingley’s lavish Christmastide house party to land her in the company of the one man she most wishes to avoid: Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. But when Darcy’s aunt falls ill, the entire Darcy–Fitzwilliam–de Bourgh clan is stranded at Netherfield, turning the holiday into a very crowded affair.
The only thing worse than spending Christmas with Mr. Darcy?
Being locked in a hidden room with him.
What begins as an innocent game of hide-and-seek becomes a disaster when Elizabeth slips behind a jib door—just as Darcy follows. By the time they’re discovered, the scandal is instant and unforgiving. A gentleman and lady trapped together?
Only one solution: marriage.
Neither is willing. Elizabeth refuses to wed the man she believes separated Jane and Bingley, and Darcy is equally dismayed. Yet honour—and their families—leave no choice.
Then the truth emerges: the trap was never meant for them.
With the house full of ambitious guests and hidden motives, Elizabeth and Darcy become reluctant allies in discovering who orchestrated the scandal. But as secrets unravel and Christmas works its quiet magic, their unwilling partnership begins to shift into something far more dangerous… and far more wonderful.
Will a Christmas scheme doom them to misery—
or spark a love neither ever expected?
