So when I found out, I was not only devastated to lose a woman who helped bring me to church, but I felt like I had somehow been cheated a part of my life once again by the fact that I have been a Navy dependent (child and spouse) my entire life. I was angry! I was bereft&#8230; And that channeled into what if the same thing happened to Elizabeth Bennet?\u00a0<\/p><p>Out of my pain and loss came one of my favorite series to write.

I did not call for you!\u201d The raspy voice of Duchess Hamilton snapped as Jane entered the guest room with a maid carrying the tray of teas brewed especially for Graham\u2019s mother. In another time, the room was Lydia\u2019s chambers, but Jane would not allow herself to think about that. Not when another woman lay in the same bed, so desperately ill she could not comprehend the danger to herself.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Jane curtsied deeply to show her respect to her superior, then offered a bright smile she reserved for the crankiest of patients in her care, whether that had been one of her sisters or her mother when in a fit of nerves.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I have sent a message for the doctor, Your Grace, and I suspect he shall arrive soon. In the meantime, I have taken the liberty of seeing to draughts of chamomile and cinnamon especially for your comfort.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Duchess made a face and pulled the coverlet higher upon her chest. \u201cBleh, I want none of your remedies, Miss \u00a0. . . Miss\u2014\u201d The woman\u2019s mouth moved silently as she struggled to recall Jane\u2019s name.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Miss Bennet, at your disposal.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I know your name!\u201d The Duchess rolled over, her back to the open side of the bed like a petulant child. \u201cI need my remedy, I need my remedy.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Jane clucked her tongue as she waved her hand for the maid to follow her closer to the woman\u2019s bedside. The silver on the tray clinked and Jane made a great deal of noise as she talked about and struggled to open a bottle of laudanum.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Lacious me, this bottle is too stubborn. This cork . . \u00a0. I cannot . . .\u201d Finally wrestling the cork free, the struggle had attracted the interest of her patient, who just a moment before was pouting over the opiate she so desperately craved. Jane\u2019s hand shook as she poured the brackish brown liquid onto the spoon, making certain to over pour.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Oh, how dreadful, I\u2019ve put too much in this cup.

That is my regular dose, I am certain of it. When Doctor Simpson arrives, he shall tell you all, the proper manner in which to care for me.\u201d The Duchess reached greedily for the delicate china cup. Grasping the beverage, she hastily drank the draught of chamomile and lemon tea while the sleeves of her gown, a borrowed one from Jane\u2019s wardrobe, tumbled down her forearms. Dark, plum colored gouges crisscrossed her wrinkled skin with angry, red streaks as evidence of the Duchess\u2019 recent discomfort in waiting for a dose.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-brqvefk elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"brqvefk\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-loscrbw\" data-id=\"loscrbw\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-gvfavvc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"gvfavvc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Weekly chapter alerts, news, and other happy tidings!

The corked bottle in her hands held nothing more than a carmelized sugar syrup, spiked with cinnamon, to give the illusion of laudanum. But with the first fake dose administered, the Duchess did not notice. Her mind\u2019s expectation of the opiate gave her an artificial euphoria and Jane prayed the willow bark extract she added would ease the pain of withdrawal. She had only heard tales of the hours to come from Mr. Jones, an apothecary in her home county of Hertfordshire when she was a young lady first showing an interest in the still room.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">That\u2019s the faerie\u2019s kiss there now, leave me to my rest, child.\u201d The Duchess leaned back against the pillows and stared blankly up at the ceiling. After a few moments, her eyelids fluttered closed.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Jane bowed her head as the Duchess settled in and the maid closed the drapes to darken the room from the day\u2019s sun. The lady now pampered and medicated for a long spell, Jane waited to be certain the Duchess fell asleep before following Millie out with the tray.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Forgive my impertinence, but I thought we were not to drug her further?\u201d Millie had heard from Mrs. Buchanan that Miss Bennet had ordered no laudanum was to be administered to the Duchess.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Jane closed the double doors and held her fingers to her lips, with a conspiratorial wink to the maid. \u201cThere be nothing but syrup in her tea and herbs to help her rest. She will call for more and more when she does not feel the effects she so desires, but it will only be sugar.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">And his lordship rides this way?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Jane frowned at Millie. Truly Jane had fostered a free rapport with the staff, but being questioned by the lowly maid allowed Jane\u2019s pangs of guilt to return. She had told the staff she sent an express to Graham, but she had not. If she could help Aileena Hamilton, Eleventh Duchess of Hamilton, she had to at least begin her plan before Graham returned from Edinburgh. Once Her Grace felt well, then Jane would allow the woman to voice her own wishes for her further care.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">As Jane dismissed the maid to see to Master Robin, she shuddered to think of herself locked up in some dreary castle while her husband lived a fancy life of mistresses, gambling, and politics in London. She had seen the Duke of Hamilton briefly last summer, mistakenly thinking the woman clinging to his arm to be his wife when Graham\u2019s brother, the Viscount Haddington, rescued Jane from society\u2019s displeasure directly after she spurned Mr. Bingley\u2019s offer.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Perhaps the laudanum use began by the Duchess\u2019 free will; perhaps the woman remained drugged for hysterics after the deaths of Lady Amelia and her husband and child. Either way, that woman lived far from her right mind to consent for treatment at this hour. Jane knew enough of the medical arts to assess even Mr. Jones would not have administered more. The Duchess of Hamilton would not die of a broken heart in Starvet House.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bqckbar elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bqckbar\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-zhngqtw\" data-id=\"zhngqtw\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cujgi6b elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1706 elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cujgi6b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">WHAT A DEAL!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-vvcemc5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"vvcemc5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-kpqclyn elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1708 elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"kpqclyn\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elizabethannwest.com\/author\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/final-garden-n2ov1skyozd7q39bri3b63osik2tqhk5713ss952fo.jpg\" title=\"final garden\" alt=\"cover for the book 3 Dates with Mr. Darcy\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-sdicxgm\" data-id=\"sdicxgm\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-sz5x6rf elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1710 elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"sz5x6rf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><b>A kiss at the Netherfield Ball . . .<\/b><\/span><\/p><p><em style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Three Dates with Mr. Darcy<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"> is a bundle of: An exclusive story, <\/span><em style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Much to Conceal<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">, a novella that imagines what if Elizabeth confessed to Jane in London that Mr. Darcy proposed in Kent?&nbsp;<\/span><br><\/p>\n<p><em>A Winter Wrong,<\/em> the first novella in the Seasons of Serendipity series that imagines what if Mr. Bennet died at the very beginning of Pride and Prejudice?<\/p>\n<p><em>By Consequence of Marriage,<\/em> the first novel in the Moralities of Marriage series that wonders what if Mr. Darcy never saved his sister Georgiana from Wickham\u2019s clutches?<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth Ann West\u2019s Pride and Prejudice variations have enthralled more than 100,000 readers in over 90 countries!

his crib. The boy, still fussy from the business of gaining his teeth, settled as Jane rocked him singing a lullaby she had heard from Mrs. Buchanan. She still could not quite manage the full Scottish brogue, but the lilt to her vowels and familiar tune comforted the poor lad. She wistfully wished she had moved a bottle of whisky to the boy\u2019s room as Graham\u2019s treatment of the malady worked beyond measure.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Squinting at the bright winter sun beginning it\u2019s mid-afternoon sinking in the sky, Jane watched the shadows of various trees sway \u00a0in the Scottish winds. She smiled down at the tartan plaids she now wore for skirts and remembered there were parts of the land and people she loved most dearly. And other parts, like the practice of imprisoning one\u2019s wife in the country with the assistance of an opiate, she found more dangerous than the fake parlors of polite society.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">With Robin once more asleep, Jane retreated to her own rooms and considered resting herself as the night with the Duchess should prove most exhausting. Unable to shed her guilt, she hastened to the small writing desk in the corner of her room and penned a note to Graham.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>The Duchess\u00a0of Hamilton has arrived in frightful condition but she is well under my care. If your business be settled in Edinburgh, I ask that you return to Starvet House at your safest speed. A week is longer than I have ever known it to be, and I distrust the next to be shorter.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Your Lass,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Jane Bennet<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Optima;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Ringing\u00a0for a stable boy to press into service, Jane estimated a rider might reach the town before dark. But she decided to instruct the rider to take a rest at an inn and deliver the express at a more moderate time of tomorrow morning. This would allow her to help the Duchess through the first day of removing the demon\u2019s licks from her body, and hopefully, the business in town would delay Graham a day or two more.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-vwgeihj elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"vwgeihj\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You&#8217;ve been reading <em>A January for Jane<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-hicuziy elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"hicuziy\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-mwdsbpf\" data-id=\"mwdsbpf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-xwpycdc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"xwpycdc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elizabethannwest.com\/author\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/janefinal-o04owzjzhr5txl67i4jxjurzwka528aipvjq1xmduc.jpg\" title=\"janefinal\" alt=\"janefinal\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-uwugwnl\" data-id=\"uwugwnl\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-wurbwit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"wurbwit\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Hiding at Mr. Darcy&#8217;s Scottish estate with her orphaned, illegitimate nephew, Jane Bennet begins to fall for Graham Hamilton.
