In the Spirit Intended: Variations on a Jane Austen Christmas by Jan Ashton
Pretty packages, even those containing the greatest treasures of my house, are secondary to what we most desire, for there are no words equal to the tenderness of heart I feel for you, and no gifts greater than what you have already given me: your own heart. The wisest and the best action I have ever done, is give you mine.

A YEAR AFTER THEY LAST MET, Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet are reunited for Christmas at the Bingleys’ London townhouse. Neither has passed the time easily—he has travelled, while she has refused a third offer of marriage and helped her sister settle into married life.

NOW THEIR PASTS COLLIDE as they gather with family, including two unexpected visitors, to celebrate the holidays and unwrap old wounds. Darcy fears Elizabeth is unhappily constrained living with the newlyweds, while she assumes his ease comes from joy in the choice he made to eschew her.

AFTER A YEAR OF YEARNING and self-recrimination, it takes a little Christmas spirit and some meaningful conversation to finally bind their hearts together.
