Featuring A Sleigh Ride for Two: Darcy returns to Hertfordshire armed with a sleigh and a plan to clear his good name. Thawed Hearts: Inspired by In the Bleak Midwinter by Christina Rossetti, Darcy seeks happiness in a world of cold memories. Fitzy the Snowman: The Gardiners' youngest daughter witnesses love spark between Darcy and Elizabeth during a day of snow games.

Home with You: Jane knows her heart belongs with Mr. Bingley, but despairs of ever feeling at home again. Fortune Favours the Bold: Regency era propriety dictates letters between unwed ladies and men taboo. Sometimes, breaking the rules is worth the risk.
