A Winter Wrong (Seasons of Serendipity, #1)A Winter Wrong by Elizabeth Ann West
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this Pride and Prejudice first volume an epidemic sweeps through Hertfordshire while Jane and Elizabeth are staying at Netherfield bringing unwanted consequences to the lives of the Bennet family.
Enjoyed reading a variation which is not totally about Elizabeth and Darcy, but includes all the Bennet daughters, and we still have Wickham, Caroline, and Lady Catherine.
So an enjoyable read and 5 stars, because this is the third read for this volume. Another re-read
