Charlotte Lucas finally becomes the heroine of her own story in this heartfelt and mermerising sequel to Pride and Prejudice, written by comedian and Austentatious founding member Rachel Parris and published to coincide with Jane Austen''s 250th birthday.

Charlotte Lucas always thought she wasn''t romantic and had written herself out of her own life - but is it ever too late to find your own happy ending?

When Charlotte Lucas chooses security over romance, her eyes are wide open to the decision she is making. Marriage to Mr Collins offers stability, if not passion, and she is determined to make the best of it. While Elizabeth Bennet turns away in judgement of her choice, Charlotte builds a life in Kent - one of duty, routine and quiet contentment.

But everything changes when an unexpected visitor arrives at Rosings Park. A spark is lit, an impossible longing awakened.

Torn between what she must do and what she truly desires, Charlotte finds herself at the centre of a story she never expected to be hers. A tale of love, loss and second chances, Introducing Mrs Collins is for anyone who wondered if there was more to the sensible character we met in Pride and Prejudice. It is the story of a woman who had written herself out of her own life, only to learn it is never too late to find your own happy ending.
