Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desperate times call for drastic measures... With Mr. Bennet dead and Lydia having fled, leaving the Bennet sisters in disgrace, the widowed Mr. Collins believes he will easily persuade Lizzy to be his new bride. When she refuses, they are forced to flee the small home they've lived in at Longbourn for the last two years. Lizzy and her sisters come to unwelcoming London, unable to seek refuge with the Gardiners because of their reputations, ruined by Lydia's actions. With dwindling prospects, Lizzy accepts an offer of assistance from an unlikely source. Much has changed for Mrs. Louisa Hurst, and she regrets the snob she used to be. She introduces Lizzy to the idea of being a courtesan and takes her to Tigerlily, where a young lady might get the proper sort of education. When Mr. Darcy learns of this, he offers marriage. Lizzy can't risk tarnishing his reputation by allowing him to make such a gesture out of honor and obligation, and he has no doubt cured himself of his reluctant love in the ensuing years, so she declines. When he accepts her decision to stay the course, he offers a bold plan. Instead of leaving her instruction to the professionals, he will train her in all the ways of pleasure himself. It is a deal Lizzy can't refuse, for it solves some of her problems and gives her a taste of what she could have had. Though she feels strongly for him, and he is a master instructor, she must remember not to love Mr. Darcy, for she can never be more than his courtesan. Can she? This is part one of a completed three-part serial. The subsequent titles (?Avidity? and ?Amity?) will be releasing shortly, followed by a compilation of the serial. While Abbey sometimes writes sweet JAFF, this is extra SENSUAL, and the door is wide open. It includes love scenes that are scorching. This is only for adult readers who don't object to explicit intimacies between ODC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marooned with the last man she would ever marry... Lizzy and Jane are on a ship bound for America to stay with Mr. Collins?s younger brother when they meet Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy?s disapproval of the burgeoning affection between Jane and Charles is painfully obvious, and Lizzy does her best to thwart his attempts to stop the developing relationship. She is puzzled by how invigorating it can be to trade barbs with Darcy, and he seems to enjoy it as well, but he is the last man she could ever soften toward due to his haughty manner and prideful ways. When their ship wrecks, Lizzy and Darcy end up stranded alone on an island. As the days pass while they await rescue, the undeniable attraction between them becomes overwhelming, leading them both to act. Even as Lizzy succumbs to the temptation and falls for Darcy, she wonders if he is indeed the last man she would ever marry, or if she has been fooling herself about the strength of her emotions all along?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Darcy likes to be in control? After a revealing midnight meeting in Netherfield?s library, Lizzy can?t keep her thoughts from Mr. Darcy. When her mother lies to her about Mr. Bennet?s impending death to force her to marry Cousin Collins, she acts in hasty desperation and compromises Mr. Darcy with a kiss. He won?t hear of her refusing his grudging proposal, both because he wants to preserve his honor and Georgiana?s standing, and because he suspects Lizzy has certain tastes that will well-suit his own proclivities. That doesn?t keep him from being angry that she viewed him only as a choice moderately preferable to Mr. Collins, and the resentment seems impossible to overcome. ÿ With his sister determined to dislike Lizzy and make her suffer for forcing him into marriage, and Fitzwilliam himself seemingly unable to forgive her, any attempt to be happy seems doomed. They entered marriage as adversaries, but can the passion growing between them help them find a new accord, or will Lizzy be forced to continue to for pay compromising Mr. Darcy? While Abbey sometimes writes sweet JAFF, this is strictly SENSUAL. It has mild scenes of a dominant nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will Lizzy lose her heart or her life to the enigmatic Mr. Darcy? Lizzy is the newest instructor at Netherfield Academy, and strange noises have her searching the corridors of the drafty old castle to discover the source. The previous headmaster disappeared under strange circumstances, and when his replacement, Mr. Darcy, catches her in the corridors, he warns her. The first time. The next time, he kisses her, and she sees something different about him. Darcy is as mysterious as the surroundings, and she fears for her life, her sanity, and her heart as she strives to resist the pull he exerts on her. This is a paranormal take on ODC with a strong dash of gothic as well. While Abbey sometimes writes sweet JAFF, this is strictly SENSUAL.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Someone is marrying Mr. Darcy, but which one? Eighteen years ago, Fitzwilliam left Netherfield and Lizzy behind after they nearly shared a kiss. Lizzy couldn?t dwell on the knowledge he was going to marry Anne, because she had to accept Mr. Collins? proposal after her father?s untimely death. She consigned her feelings for Fitzwilliam to a deep place in her mind, never to be considered. Years later, her daughter returns home from a visit to Rosings Park with the news William Darcy wants to marry her. Lizzy is at first opposed to her daughter marrying Mr. Darcy?s son, but after seeing them together, she?s convinced Lottie will be happy with the boy. It?s no surprise when Mr. Darcy appears in full wrath, intent on preventing the union. As Lizzy and Fitzwilliam clash about their children?s futures, the past they never addressed lingers between them. Will passions ignite and give them a second chance, or are they both too proud and prejudiced to embrace this new opportunity? This features a widely divergent timeline sprinkled with a dash of what-if. What if a reformed Lady Catherine, shaped by grief, has mellowed and wants to play matchmaker? What if Lizzy took the reins of Longbourn? What if Fitzwilliam never learned to temper his pride in the past and is forced to do so now to embrace a chance at a happy future? ÿWhile Abbey sometimes writes sweet JAFF, this is strictly SENSUAL.

Book excerpt: Matchmaking leads to mischief at Rosings Park. While Lizzy is at Hunsford to visit Charlotte, she becomes good friends with Anne de Bourgh. Anne reveals a shocking secret collection of tawdry romance novels, and the women soon form their own book society. The merriment is interrupted by the arrival of Mr. Darcy and his cousin, Richard. Lizzy realizes Anne has a tendre for the dashing colonel, and Anne seems to think Lizzy is in love with Mr. Darcy. How perfectly preposterous. Mr. Darcy maintains his distrust of Jane’s feelings and believes Lizzy is pursuing the colonel. He is determined to thwart that, of course. Amid mischief and matchmaking from all sides, will there be a triple wedding in the future, or are Lizzy and Fitzwilliam too stubborn to admit their feelings and take steps toward a happy future? While Abbey sometimes writes sweet JAFF, this is strictly SENSUAL.

Her father has been dead for years now, and they make their way on their own. Mr. Darcy seeks Miss Bennet out, resolving to do whatever is necessary to help her, including paying back the mountain of debt that her late mother left behind. But Miss Bennet is still proud.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lady Lucinda Bowery has decided to cast off mourning attire and begin moving on from the loss of her husband. Hiring the gentleman courtesan known as an experienced dominant seems like just the thing to propel her out of bereavement and back to life. She intends for him to give her pleasure, and perhaps help her find a bit of the woman she was before being widowed. Aubrey Drake became a courtesan to help bolster his expanding business, as well as provide a trousseau and dowry for his ward. Over time he has grown bored catering to women who only see him as an exotic offering to be enjoyed temporarily and then discarded. Thus, the thrill of mastering a submissive bedmate has lost its luster, leaving him cold. When Lady Bowery is suggested as his new keeper, he expects to be as apathetic toward her as all the others. But, when sparks fly at their first meeting, Aubrey becomes determined to master Lucinda in every way possible—even though she seems intent on keeping him at arm’s length. As she finds comfort and pleasure with her new courtesan, Lucinda finds it increasingly difficult to deny that what she feels for him goes beyond simple lust. Yet, embracing the possibility of a future with him means letting go of her past. Aubrey is determined to win Lucinda’s heart, but she still clings to the memory of her first husband. Can Lucinda come to return Aubrey’s love before it’s too late?

Book excerpt: Widowhood has offered Joan Durbin the chance to experience life as she never has before. When rumors of an agency of male courtesans in London bring her face to face with Sir Piers Lovelace, she is introduced to a world of enticing pleasures—those of domination and submission, pleasure and discipline, and utter abandon. Unlike most Gentleman Courtesans, Piers is a paramour to wealthy women not out of financial need—but because it allows for illicit affairs with no strings attached. After a previous heartbreak, Piers has no interest in being trapped into marriage by the devious ladies of high society. But Joan Durbin is unlike any woman Piers has ever known. Her brazen nature and uninhibited charm make it difficult to remember that their arrangement is one of pleasurable business only. Neither of them is looking for love … but both will be hard-pressed to deny it's call.

Yet time, circumstances and new acquaintances teach her she had made a terrible mistake. How can she regain what she had lost and rebuild a future with the only man she will ever love, but for whom disguise of every sort is his abhorrence?
