title: Caroline and the Footman
author: McMann, Renata
description: This
  Pride and Prejudice
   variation explores the possibility that Caroline Bingley's behavior is motivated by goals other than a desire to attract Darcy. In an effort to shatter the Caroline Bingley villain motif,
  Caroline and the Footman
   portrays a Caroline who is not stupid, greedy or villainous, but rather someone with her own life and dreams, though her actions do still influence Darcy's and Elizabeth's relationship. Readers will find everything they thought they knew about Caroline Bingley turned on its head.
  This short story is also included in the compilation
  Pride and Prejudice Villains: Revisited - Redeemed - Reimagined, A Collection of Six Short Stories

  PLEASE NOTE:

  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.
