Elizabeth Bennet has never been happier: she is married—finally!—to her true love, Mr. Darcy. But when Elizabeth’s youngest sister Lydia reveals scandalous details about what her own husband, Mr. Wickham, expects in bed, Elizabeth begins to fear her wedding night. She decides she will postpone any further intimacies. After all, isn’t lively conversation as satisfying as anything else between a husband and wife? Not according to her husband! Will Fitzwilliam Darcy be able to put aside his pride—and break through his innocent bride’s prejudices—in order to woo her? It might take all his skill, and more than one night, but thankfully, Fitzwilliam Darcy has ways to tempt the love of his life. It turns out, he’s not so very proper once behind closed doors… This sensual, intimate variation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is full of love, laughter, misunderstandings, steamy scenes…and true love! With its high heat level, it is best enjoyed by readers 18 years of age or older. Perfect for fans of Regency fiction, Regency romance, historical romance, British historical romance, British classics, Jane Austen fan fiction (JAFF), and sensual, intimate Pride and Prejudice variations.

Now Darcy and bandmates Charles Bingley and Richard Fitzwilliam are about to meet their match. Enter Elizabeth Bennet, fiercely independent star of girl-band Long Borne Suffering. Elizabeth, her sister Jane, and friend Charlotte Lucas have talent to spare and jump at the opening band slot. Elizabeth is sure she's seen the worst the music industry has to offer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Darcy is a liar because he says that he is an Alpha, I am an Omega… And that I belong to him, body and soul. Once upon a time, Elizabeth Bennet read a fairy tale that broke down the world into three kinds of people: the normal, everyday Betas; the proud and arrogant Alphas; and the meek, submissive Omegas, whose only goal in life was to please their growling Alpha mates. Lizzy never forgot that tale—even though it wasn’t real. Or was it? When terrible pains overcome Elizabeth while tending to her sister Jane, Lizzy knows she must escape Netherfield—and Mr. Darcy. Because he tells her that he is an Alpha, she is an Omega, and that her body will be his. But she knows she will never submit to any man, especially one as proud, demanding—and tempting—as Mr. Darcy. But what if Mr. Darcy is telling the truth? What if she is an Omega and—should she run from him—she risks letting any Alpha who finds her, conquer and take her? Lizzy can’t believe these stories are real. And she knows she can’t stay one moment longer at Netherfield, because if Mr. Darcy takes her in his arms again, she will give him what he wants: Her, body and soul. Surely it’s more dangerous to stay inside…than to run away? Alphas and Omegas and Mr. Darcy, oh my! What is going on? It’s Pride and Prejudice meets the Omegaverse in this very intimate variation. If you haven’t heard of Alphas, Omegas, and all that the Omegaverse entails: prepare yourself. It’s a wild ride, but a fun one. Please note this is NOT for Jane Austen purists! Expect a savage, sensual variation. Can you handle a Lizzy whose body will guide her? Can you deal with the most wrathful, wicked Wickham? And are you ready to meet Mr. Darcy, your Alpha? Perfect for fans of Regency fiction, Regency romance, historical romance, British historical romance, British classics, Jane Austen fan fiction (JAFF), and sensual, intimate Pride and Prejudice variations.

Picking up twenty years after Pride and Prejudice left off, Mr. Darcy's Daughters begins in the year 1818. Elizabeth and Darcy have gone to Constantinople, giving us an opportunity to get to know their five daughters, who have left the sheltered surroundings of Pemberley for a few months in London. While the eldest, Letitia, frets and the youngest, Alethea, practices her music, twins Georgina and Belle flirt and frolic their way through parties and balls, while Camilla—levelheaded and independent—discovers what joys and sorrows the city has to offer an intelligent young woman. Readers will delight in the return of such beloved Austen creations as Elizabeth's old nemesis Caroline Bingley (now Lady Warren), the ever-reliable Gardiners, and wayward Aunt Lydia. Charming, beautifully written, and full of societal intrigue and romantic high jinks, Mr. Darcy's Daughters is a tale that would please Austen herself.

Book excerpt: Alone with Mr. Darcy.... Elizabeth Bennet can't imagine anything worse than being stranded by a blizzard in a tiny cottage with proud and unpleasant Mr. Darcy. But being trapped there for days - and nights - with an injured and confused Mr. Darcy who keeps saying the oddest things about her is even worse. At least he possesses the useful ability of lighting a fire to keep them from freezing to death. But when he puts his arms around her, she discovers the hearth isn't the only place he knows how to build a fire. And the little half-frozen kitten he finds in a woodpile isn't proving to be much of a chaperone. She doesn't really believe his promises to marry her if anyone finds out they spent two nights alone together, especially after learning he was betrayed by another woman in the past. When her worst fears are realized and her reputation is in tatters, she isn't surprised to discover Mr. Darcy has vanished into thin air, leaving her no choice but to find a husband as soon as possible before her whole family is ruined. Any husband will have to do, no matter how much she dislikes him. Even if she can't stop thinking of Mr. Darcy.... Praise for Abigail Reynolds "If you are unfamiliar with these riveting and romantic variations, they are retellings of Pride and Prejudice that take our beloved hero and heroine down a slightly altered path. Abigail Reynolds, one of my favorite Austenesque authors, is a skilled-story teller, an ardent admirer of Jane Austen, and quite proficient at infusing a lot of emotion, tension, and passion into her stories!" Austenesque Reviews "If romantics can overlook the subversion, they should enjoy witnessing Elizabeth as an industrious and caring wife, administering to Pemberley's tenants, learning how to be an equestrian and growing to love that perplexing Darcy."

Book excerpt: Mr. Bingley leaves Hertfordshire after his ball, throwing the Bennet family into turmoil and Jane Bennet into despair. Sensing an opportunity, Mr. Collins capitalizes on this event to stoke Mrs. Bennet’s fears in his attempt to force Elizabeth Bennet’s hand and provoke her to accept him, but Elizabeth remains firm in her convictions. Into this strained situation, gossip reveals that Netherfield Park is to be opened again, but instead of the expected Mr. Bingley, the resident at the estate is soon revealed to be none other than Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. Elizabeth does not appreciate Mr. Darcy, for his slight of her and the stories from Mr. Wickham have left her in a state of festering disapproval and disdain for the gentleman from the north. The gentleman proposes to her, leading to Elizabeth’s acrimonious refusal, but she soon realizes her opinion of Mr. Darcy is amiss when he explains certain facts of Mr. Wickham’s history and acts to bring Mr. Bingley back to Hertfordshire. Though Elizabeth is uncertain of the wisdom of allowing him any hope, she allows Mr. Darcy to call on her, determined to learn more about the enigmatic gentleman. Yet Mr. Collins has not abandoned his hope. A man so ineffectual as he is no temptation for Elizabeth, and he just may yet be of some use to her, for there is no comparison between a silly parson and a gentleman such as Mr. Darcy . . .
