    Summary

    When Mr Bennet dies suddenly, Longbourn passes to Mr Collins — and the Bennet ladies themselves with the new master arriving to take possession. Grief gives way to fear, and Mrs Bennet's hopes of remaining at Longbourn crumble under the quiet certainty that they can no longer call it home.

    With no son to inherit and no proposal forthcoming, the family faces disgrace, separation, and poverty—until an unexpected offer arrives from Mrs Gardiner: a modest cottage near Lambton in Derbyshire, where they might begin again.

    Uprooted from everything familiar, Elizabeth enters a new world of northern hills, new neighbours, and a certain gentleman she meets quite by chance—one who knows nothing of her circumstances, and whose reserve hides a heart she never expected to understand.

    This is a story of loss, resilience, and renewal—of sisters who refuse to be parted, a mother undone by fear, and a heroine who must rebuild her life before she can discover love.

    Sometimes, the future begins only after we let go of home.

    Summary

    The firelight flickered, casting shadows over Dougal’s calculating stare, and something inside her snapped. “You kidnapped me! You dragged me along with no choice in the matter – if anyone here has explaining to do, it’s you!” Her heart pounded in the sudden stillness.

    Dougal arched a brow, his gaze darkening. “Oh, kidnapped?” he scoffed. “I saved ye. Without me, ye’d be dead, or worse. Show a little gratitude, lass.”

    “Gratitude?” Leah shot back, her voice rising. “You think dragging me off to god-knows-where and treating me like a criminal is saving me? Let’s call it what it is – abduction.”

     

    An extremely slow-burn (no smut until Chapter 40), self-indulgent, (eventual) romance between a 21st-century historian and an 18th-century war chieftain.

    There will be dubious consent, but no outright non-con. There will be some sexual harassment and threat (not from Dougal). There will be one scene of domestic violence and a lot of fallout from it. There will be 18th-century assumptions around gender and power. Some things will be handled very accurately, some things will fall under dramatic license, and some things I just don’t want to deal with at all, so I’m ignoring them. Updates on Sundays.
