Desperate Hearts

In this “what if?” variation, the story begins shortly after the Meryton assembly where Darcy and Elizabeth first meet.

Familiarity with the original Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is necessary to comprehend the story and Jane Austen’s characters. Please note that this is a novella, not a full-length novel.
