Mr. Collins' Deception — Renata McMann

Jane Austen tells us that Mr. Collins was originally a man of 'great humility of manner,' but suppose that wasn't true. What if Mr. Collins was a very different person than he appeared to be? His false portrayal of himself is all part of Mr. Collins' Deception. 

This short story is also included in the compilation Pride and Prejudice Villains: Revisited - Redeemed - Reimagined, A Collection of Six Short Stories.

PLEASE NOTE: Renata McMann and Summer Hanford write SWEET ROMANCE. Our books contain no explicit situations beyond a kiss and only the occasional (maybe once in every ten books) mild curse. It is our belief that our books should be appropriate for all readers.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

RENATA McMANN is the pen name of someone who likes to rewrite public domain works and is fond of thinking, "What if?" Her science fiction and fantasy can be found under the name Teresa McCullough. She recently started a book club solely devoted to Jane Austen's novels, which had nine people at the first meeting. However large the enthusiasm is, she has no idea of what to do with the group after everyone has read all six of Jane Austen's novels. 


SUMMER HANFORD was offered the privilege of partnering with fan fiction author Renata McMann on her well-loved Pride and Prejudice variations starting in 2014, and also writes solo works in Regency Romance, Adventure Romance and Fantasy. She lives in New York with her husband and compulsory, deliberately spoiled, cats. The newest addition to their household is an energetic setter-shepherd mix...not yet appreciated by any of the three cats.


TOGETHER McMann and Hanford began writing Pride and Prejudice Variations together in 2014 and have since become immersed in the amazing world Jane Austen created. Whether you're a fan of Darcy and Elizabeth specifically or of clean romance in general, you will enjoy both McMann's ability to imagine variations of this classic love story and Hanford's skill in illuminating these variations of Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet, and their enduring love.
