When Elizabeth Bennet’s journey to Derbyshire with the Gardiners results in an extended stay at Mr Darcy’s estate, new depths of understanding grow between them—but it takes longer than either had hoped.

The Pleasure of Understanding Her by Mary Smythe

The sudden and shocking ability to read minds gives Darcy some much needed insight into Elizabeth Bennet’s heart, and into his own faults and behaviour.

The Heart’s Consent by Paige Badgett

Both Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy must overcome regrets and recrimination if he is to win her back from another seemingly ardent suitor.

No Charm Equal by Jan Ashton

United by Happenstance by Gailie Ruth Caress

Lady Catherine brings Elizabeth Bennet unexpectedly to Mr Darcy’s doorstep but when her ladyship recognises she has brought the enemy to the gate, she turns vitriolic. Darcy and Elizabeth unite against his aunt’s wrath but will the union lead to more than either anticipated?

The First Moment of Their Acquaintance by Amy D’Orazio

Darcy’s cousins believe that they can fabricate a second chance for him to make a first impression on his beloved Elizabeth. He returns to Meryton hoping the disguise he wears will make the man he is more plain.

Speaking the Truth by Nan Harrison

Elizabeth leaves the Netherfield ball desperately ashamed of her family’s behaviour and wishing to escape the censorious eye of Mr Darcy and Miss Bingley. When Darcy follows her however, truths are spoken freely…and a new chance at love emerges.

A Duet in Dispute by Michelle Ray

A shared love of music results in a more amiable relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth but complications arise. Will his love for her be enough to overcome the challenges that face them?

What Might Have Been by Kay Bea

It’s been five years since the Bennet family was sunk beneath Lydia’s disgrace. Elizabeth has learnt not to regret Mr Darcy—that is, until a chance meeting makes her think that what might have been still could be.


An Inducement Into Matrimony

To be a fool is one thing, to be a fool for love is something else altogether. SHORTLY AFTER THE PRECIPITOUS DEPARTURE of Mr Bingley and his party from Netherfield Park, disaster strikes Miss Elizabeth Bennet's family. Not only is Mr Bennet ill, Longbourn and indeed all of Meryton is struggling through one of England's worst winters. Elizabeth draws on every strength to care for her family, but faces the alarming prospect of losing both her father and her home. Her lonely struggles lead her to revise her opinion of a certain gentleman, and she finds unexpected solace in dreams of Mr Darcy. FITZWILLIAM DARCY BELIEVES HE CAN ESCAPE his attraction to Elizabeth by leaving Netherfield. He soon finds himself snowbound at Pemberley, where forced isolation compels him to contemplate his duty, and contrast it with dreams of his heart's desire. No matter how he considers it, though, he feels he cannot have Elizabeth, the one he truly loves. FORTUNATELY DARCY'S FRIENDS and his family-Georgiana, Colonel Fitzwilliam, and the Hursts-feel far differently than he, and soon even the most unlikely allies have come together to help him see that happiness is the highest consideration of all. But will he and Elizabeth find the courage to follow their hearts before it is too late? ANY FAIR INTERFERENCE is a Pride and Prejudce variation.
