Two years prior to canon, spending the summer in Ramsgate with the Gardiners, Elizabeth rescues a cat sent to a cruel death by an evil, vengeful man whose identity is unknown.
As much as she searches, Elizabeth cannot find the lawful owner of the cat, so she adopts him and loves him herself. Two years later, an extraordinary succession of coincidences reveals that she and a certain wealthy yet proud and arrogant man who considers her barely tolerable have more in common than she could imagine. Especially a love for cats.
Although she considers herself a good judge of character, when two men compete for her attention, she finds it difficult to decipher their true intentions. While one gentleman appears proud and distant and the other charming and amiable, Elizabeth senses that both have something to hide, though for very different reasons. Since it is impolite for a young lady to ask indiscreet questions, Elizabeth’s sharp-eyed tomcat steps in, uncovering more about the true nature of both men.
With low angst, intriguing twists, and lots of romance, this Pride and Prejudice variation explores how even the smallest creature can tip the scales of destiny. Small things can indeed make a big difference and pave the way towards a happily-ever-after.
