Frosted Window Panes — Kara Louise

Elizabeth Bennet merely wanted to accompany her sister when she went to meet a young man she had met just the day before. Jane had only one fault, that being that she was all-trusting of everyone, so Elizabeth wanted to make sure Charles Bingley was everything her sister thought he was. She did not expect, however, Charles to bring his friend, William Darcy, whom Elizabeth found to be arrogant, cold, and far too wealthy for her.Elizabeth ran a small tutoring center in Meryton Heights, a poor part of town, while Will was CEO of a successful family business. She worked with children whose families struggled with enough money for their next meal, while Will lived and worked with people who were affluent and never had to worry about spending.After their initial meeting, their paths cross over and over, and while Elizabeth gradually sees some redeeming qualities in him, there are other areas she considers big red flags.Will these two be able to overcome their differences and have their happily ever after? This is a modern Pride and Prejudice variation in which Christmas will play an important part.
