Christmas Novellas with an Austenesque setting
Yesterday I highlighted my Christmas novella, A Darcy Christmas, with a bunch of excerpts to pique your interest. Read that post HERE if you missed it.
Today, as the third day in my planned four weeks of blogs dedicated to the joyous Christmas season, it made sense to shine a light on the plethora of Christmas novellas by other wonderful Austenesque authors. The following is not an exhaustive list by any means, but there are plenty to choose from. Each title is linked to Amazon Kindle.

New this season from my co-admin and BFF Regina Jeffers —
Pemberley’s Christmas Governess ~ Two hearts. One kiss.
Following his wife’s death in childbirth, Fitzwilliam Darcy hopes to ease his way back into society by hosting a house party during Christmastide. He is thrilled when his cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam sends a message saying not only will the colonel attend, but he is bringing a young woman with him of whom he hopes both Darcy and the colonel’s mother, Lady Matlock, will approve. Unfortunately, for Darcy, upon first sight, he falls for the woman: He suspects beneath Miss Elizabeth Bennet’s conservative veneer lies a soul which will match his in every way; yet, she is soon to be the colonel’s wife.
Elizabeth Bennet lost her position as a governess when Lady Newland accused Elizabeth of leading her son on. It is Christmastide, and she has no place to go and little money to hold her over until after Twelfth Night; therefore, when Lieutenant Newland’s commanding officer offers her a place at his cousin’s household for the holy days, she accepts in hopes someone at the house party can provide her a lead on a new position. Having endured personal challenges which could easily have embittered a lesser woman, Elizabeth proves herself brave, intelligent, educated in the fine arts of society, and deeply honorable. Unfortunately, she is also vulnerable to the Master of Pemberley, who kindness renews her spirits and whose young daughter steals her heart. The problem is she must leave Pemberley after the holidays, and she does not know if a “memory” of Fitzwilliam Darcy will be enough to sustain her.
