Misunderstood — Reina M. Williams

Miss Maria Lucas, after jilting her fiancé, has traveled to Pemberley for the Christmas season. She hopes her visit to childhood friends Kitty and Lizzy will ease the discomfort she's felt at home after disappointing her parents' plans for her marriage. But she could not marry the man they chose -- there is only one man she can give her heart to, a man she believes she will never see again.

Mr. Denny arrives at Pemberley, not a very welcome guest to Mr. Darcy. But, as a friend of Darcy's new brother-in-law, Sir Camden, Darcy opens his home to Denny. Soon, Denny finds himself opening to new feelings for the lovely Miss Maria Lucas, and he acts to make this Christmastide one of new beginnings. As Denny shows the party at Pemberley his true nature, Maria hides some of her truths from Denny. Forgiveness and happiness dance within reach -- can they claim their partners by Twelfth Night?

Misunderstood is a light, sweet Christmastide tale, the fourth in the Amazon Regency bestselling Love at Pemberley series, Pride and Prejudice novellas.
