'Tis the season for joy and merriment, and young Master Fitzwilliam Darcy is eagerly anticipating his return from Eton to his family's London home. But the Christmas spirit is cruelly dampened when he learns that his dear mother, Lady Anne, is gravely ill and may not live to see another year. As he grapples with the impending loss of his mother, Darcy must also navigate the arrival of his spirited cousin Richard and an unusual company of actors just arrived in Lambton led by an intriguing young miss.

With his family's expectations weighing heavily on his shoulders and this first experience of attraction tugging at his heart, can Darcy balance his duty and honour with his own desires?

Pamela Aidan's heart-warming novella, A Lesson In Honour, is a coming-of-age tale that delves into the themes of first love, family honour, and the duty that define the Darcy name and define the man in his future encounters with a certain Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

Lessons in Honour is a variation on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and was formerly published as Young Master Darcy: A Lesson in Honour
