"You have a widow, and we have a widower."


Darcy cannot believe his ears. Will John Knightley's suggestion solve his troubles with his widowed mother-in-law? Could it be so staggeringly simple?


Never mind that old Mr. Woodhouse does not wish for another wife. Or that Mrs. Bennet thinks only of finding husbands for her daughters. If Darcy and the Knightley brothers can bring about this match, their problems will be solved.


However, what sounded simple over sirloin and port proves to be a massive challenge. None of the men can breathe a word to their wives, or all will be lost. 


Come to Highbury for Christmas and enjoy a merry dance of wits. Matchmaking husbands and oh-so-suspicious young wives make for a delightful Christmastime romp.


Scheming, laughter, and unexpected romance are waiting for you.


Laura Hile's "In Want of a Wife" is narrated by Benjamin Fife, and features your friends from Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma."


"In Want of a Wife" is included in the anthology collection "A Very Austen Noel," which is available in eBook and paperback editions.
