Confronted with death and the fragility of life, both begin to understand what truly matters. Can they find the strength to confront the depth of their feelings for one another?Authors Note: If you're in search of a Pride and Prejudice Variation that explores the theme of found family, places characters in close quarters, and introduces a touch of emotional turmoil, I strongly suggest giving this novella a chance.

"Jane Fragile Façade" is the fourth installment in the Bennet Ladies Liberation series. This novella picks up soon after Mary’s tale, granting readers a chance to explore the previously unexplored depths of Jane Bennet and Charles Bingley's story.

While it is possible to read this story as a standalone, it is highly recommended to experience it in conjunction with the series for a richer understanding. .
