After the death of Mr. Bennet, Kitty Bennet must leave Longbourn when her home passes to the relentless Mr. Collins. With her sisters married and the world she knew slipping away, she takes up residence at Pemberley as governess and companion to Elizabeth and Darcy’s children.
Amid the grandeur and quiet of Pemberley, Kitty discovers a life far beyond the frivolity of her youth. She secretly pursues her passion for writing, and in the process, forms a tender, unexpected bond with Georgiana Darcy — a connection that challenges society’s expectations and awakens a love she never anticipated.
Navigating family dramas, societal pressures, and her own awakening independence, Kitty must learn to embrace the woman she has become — and the love she truly deserves.
Kitty is a sweeping, heartfelt variation on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, exploring family, self-discovery, and a love that defies convention.
