Mr Collins’ Bride by Bethany R Tolson

“She said yes to save her family. But fate—and a funeral—had other plans.”

When Elizabeth Bennet agrees to marry Mr Collins, it is not for love—it is for duty.
With her father gravely ill and the Longbourn estate entailed away, Elizabeth makes the ultimate sacrifice to secure her family’s future: a betrothal to the pompous, insufferable clergyman who will inherit everything. But on the day of the wedding, tragedy strikes—Mr Bennet collapses as he walks his favourite daughter down the aisle.
Suddenly, Elizabeth is not a bride, but a daughter in mourning. And Mr Collins? He is left grasping at a future that was never truly his.
As grief settles over Longbourn, Elizabeth must navigate more than just sorrow. Mr Darcy, whose pride once stung her so deeply, begins to reveal a different side—kind, thoughtful, even tender. But with old wounds unhealed and Mr Collins still hovering, Elizabeth must decide whether she can trust her heart again… or if it’s too late.

Mr Collins’ Bride is a rich and emotionally layered reimagining of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, blending heartbreak, humour, and slow-burn romance in equal measure. For readers who love bold heroines, brooding gentlemen, and stories where love triumphs against the odds.
