Compromising Mr. Darcy · A Pride and Prejudice Variation Anthology

Fall in love with Mr. Darcy all over again!

Mr. Darcy is the stuff of romantic dreams of women the world over. Elizabeth Bennet’s zealous refusal of Darcy’s hand in marriage is seared in the minds of many, but what if they were forced to wed to save their reputations? Enjoy three what-if Pride and Prejudice variations by best-selling author Rose Fairbanks.

No Cause to Repine: When a clumsy accident is misconstrued by Mr. Collins, Darcy is spared his ill-fated proposal. He couldn’t be happier until he learns how his betrothed really feels about him. As Elizabeth and Darcy attempt to reconcile themselves to their engagement, another plot emerges to put it at risk and harm her family. How can they find love and life with no regrets while balancing Society’s demands and family betrayals?

A Sense of Obligation: Incapable of ignoring his attraction for Elizabeth, Darcy awakes one morning convinced he stole her virtue. Resolved, and eager, to do the honorable thing he proposes marriage to the hesitant lady. Worried about her reputation after their indiscretion and aware of her attraction to Darcy, Elizabeth accepts. Passion, however, is not love. Their marriage built on misunderstandings is doomed to fail unless they can forgive and communicate.

Letters from the Heart: Angry people are not always wise. Prompted to understand their feelings via cathartic letters, Elizabeth and Darcy face ruin when their scandalous correspondence is accidentally sent and well-known in the Meryton community. Knowing she should accept Darcy’s offer of marriage, Elizabeth still refuses but for entirely different reasons than she would have days before. Will Darcy leave or fight for his beloved?
