Et si, après le mariage de Charlotte, Elizabeth Bennet se retrouvait piégée avec l’orgueilleux et désagréable Mr Darcy dans un minuscule cottage pendant une tempête de neige ?

À une époque où les rumeurs et les commérages peuvent ruiner la réputation et la vie d’une jeune femme, rester bloquée pendant deux jours – et deux nuits – avec cet homme qu’elle trouve blessé et confus sur le chemin entre Meryton et Longbourn, est ce qui pouvait lui arriver de pire. Et les propos qu’il tient à son encontre n’arrangent pas les choses.

Cependant, sa présence se révèle précieuse pour entretenir le feu de cheminée et les empêcher de mourir de froid !

Mais lorsque Darcy la prend dans ses bras, elle s’aperçoit que l’âtre n’est pas le seul endroit qu’il sait attiser.

Et ce n’est pas un petit chaton à moitié congelé, déniché dans un tas de bois, qui pourra lui servir de chaperon !

Lui résistera-t-elle ?

Tiendra-t-il sa promesse de l’épouser si quelqu’un découvrait qu’ils ont passé deux nuits ensemble ou bien sera-t-elle obligée de se marier avec un autre homme pour sauver ce qui lui reste de réputation ?

Elizabeth Bennet rêve de voir la vue depuis les célèbres Black Rocks du Derbyshire et sa déception est grande lorsqu'elle comprend que sa tante et son oncle ne l'autoriseront pas à y grimper seule.

Le comble est atteint lorsqu'elle y rencontre fortuitement Mr Darcy — du moins jusqu'à ce qu'il lui propose de l'escorter jusqu'au sommet. Ce qu'elle ignore, c'est que les Black Rocks ont une signification très particulière pour lui.

Tandis que Darcy lui révèle le passé de ses parents, Elizabeth, comme la mère de Darcy avant elle, se voit contrainte d'affronter le véritable pouvoir de cette famille et de son destin au sommet des Black Rocks.

Une nouvelle inspirée d'Orgueil et Préjugés.

In a Regency England where magic and faeries are real…

Fitzwilliam Darcy is a powerful magician who controls fire, water, and wind. What he cannot control is his growing attraction to Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

Elizabeth’s sentiments towards Darcy are quite different. She detests his arrogance, and she fears he will expose her use of forbidden magic - forbidden to women, that is. He is the last man in the world she would choose to help her on a difficult and dangerous task.

But when a magical war looms between the land of Faerie and their world, a Lord of Faerie demands that Darcy and Elizabeth serve together as his emissaries to make peace with the other mortals. That mission throws them into the middle of a chaotic power struggle between magicians whose power dwarfs their own, and everything Elizabeth has ever believed about her family, her friends, and her enemies will be called into question.

The more he tries to stay away from her, the more his obsession grows...

What if…Elizabeth Bennet was more unsuitable for Mr. Darcy than ever…

Mr. Darcy is determined to find a more suitable bride. But then he learns that Elizabeth is living in London in reduced circumstances, after her father's death robs her of her family home…

What if…Mr. Darcy can't Help himself from see king her out…

He just wants to make sure she's alright. But once he's seen her, he feels compelled to talk to her, and from there he's unable to fight the overwhelming desire to be near her, or the ever-growing mutual attraction that is between them…

What if…Mr. Darcy's intentions were shockingly dishonorable…

In Love with His Brother’s Betrothed…

As far as Fitzwilliam Darcy is concerned, the only good thing to come of Elizabeth Bennet’s bitter refusal of his heart and his hand was his new resolve to prove himself a better man. He’d done it, too, by closing the painful distance between himself and his estranged younger brother, Drew. And now Drew is newly engaged to be married…to Elizabeth Bennet.

Family duty forces Darcy to support the engagement, especially since even the smallest hint of disapproval could ruin the brothers’ hard-won reconciliation. But how can he bear to watch his brother marry the woman he loves? To see her in Drew’s arms, bearing Drew’s children, and forever out of his reach?

An Accidental Compromise

Elizabeth has no choice but to accept an engagement to handsome Drew Darcy. He’s amiable, educated, and respectable, and if it weren’t for his last name, she wouldn’t even mind the idea. But to marry the brother of the gentleman she’d so coldly rejected only months before? Especially now that she realizes her feelings for him are far from sisterly. How can she marry Drew while longing for his brother? But the cost of breaking her engagement would be ruination, and with it, the loss of any hope of a life with Darcy.

Trapped by loyalty, love, and propriety, there is no way out. But old family secrets haunt the two Darcy brothers. Could those secrets, when brought out in the open, change everything?

This intensely emotional variation on Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice will make you fall in love with Elizabeth and Darcy all over again.

In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet tells the proud Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy that she wouldn't marry him if he were the last man in the world.

But what if she never said the words? What if circumstances conspired to make her accept Darcy the first time he proposes?

What if the last man in the world she could be prevailed upon to marry...is her husband?

In this installment of Abigail Reynolds's acclaimed Pride and Prejudice Variations, Elizabeth agrees to marry Darcy against her better judgment, setting off a chain of events that nearly brings disaster to them both.
