Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newlywed Elizabeth Bennet knows little of the ways of married life. She's seen only the bickering nonsense of her parents, or the boring world of her dear friend, Charlotte, and her husband, Mr. Collins. Yet, when Fitzwilliam takes her to his bed, Elizabeth soon realizes her beloved Mr. Darcy is not entirely the gentleman she believed. He knows how to please her, taking her to new and unimagined heights. As her days descend into constant lusting for her husband's touch, she soon discovers new desires she'd never imagined, exploring every tawdry whim with her willing and wild husband. From Lady Carrington's decadent Springtime Ball, to the secret clubs of London's Aristocracy, follow this sordid erotic tale of Elizabeth's journey of discovery and passion, and see just why they call her The Mistress of Pemberley.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this continuation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, one of the best-loved novels in the English language, Elizabeth Bennet finds herself in a very different league of wealth and privilege, now as Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy and mistress of Pemberley. Writing to her sister, Jane, she confides her uncertainty and anxieties, and describes the everyday of her new life. Her first year at Pemberley is sometimes bewildering, but Lizzy's spirited sense of humor and satirical eye never desert her. Incorporating Jane Austen's own words and characters from her other works, the book is a literary patchwork quilt piecing together the story of Lizzy's first eventful year as Mrs. Darcy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The trials and tribulations of the Bennet family continue. Elizabeth, now Mrs Darcy and mistress of the great estate of Pemberley, is blissfully married and considers it her responsibility to ensure that Darcy's sister, Georgiana, and his cousin, Anne, daughter of the daunting Lady Catherine de Bourgh, achieve a similar state. Yet Georgiana and Anne are both so shy that surely they will require a helping hand from Elizabeth, and how is she to outwit the formidable Lady Catherine? But while Lizzie has her attention on those at Pemberley and Rosings, intrigue is afoot at her former home of Longbourn, where her sisters, Kitty and Mary, and, more alarmingly, her father, seem to have all fallen under the spell of a certain Mrs Castlemain. Only one more thing is needed for Elizabeth and Darcy's happiness to be complete. But, in the meantime, Darcy is once again confronted with the shadows of the past, and Elizabeth is horrified to find that she might be turning into her mother! A charming sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

Book excerpt: Having seriously believed that she was destined to become a spinster, Elizabeth Bennet finds herself married to one of the most eligible bachelors in Derbyshire. She now faces the daunting task of assuming her place within the vast and prestigious family estate of Pemberley. A few ill-disposed individuals would delight to see her fail so there is little room for error as she learns to lead her new household. Darcy is at her side, of course, but he cannot shelter her entirely as gossiping tongues follow her every move. She must navigate the isolation she feels as a stranger in this new setting and learn how to honour her new responsibilities while the lingering presence of her late mother-in-law, Lady Anne, to whom she is always compared, hangs over her. Thankfully, Elizabeth is resourceful. One day, she will triumph over even her harshest critics and prove herself worthy as mistress of Pemberley.

Mr. Darcy must appoint a new rector at Pemberley, which affords the author the opportunity to introduce a host of new characters to mingle with the beloved and familiar ones of Jane Austen. A delightfully witty plot, full of surprises: "Who could have foretold that Dr. Robinson, who had done nothing of note in all his lifetime should, by the common and natural act of dying, set in motion a train of events so strange, so startling, so far removed from probability as to emulate the riotous fancies of a disordered mind?" "The kind of story Jane Austen would have delighted to tell." -J. Donald Adams What readers are saying: "Really a great book and captures Austen's characters quite well. I was excessively diverted." "A very original plot." "A wonderful addition to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice sequels!"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife: The sexiest Austen-inspired novel that has readers talking You thought Bridgerton was steamy? Well hold on to your bonnets! This sexy, epic, hilarious, and romantic sequel to Pride and Prejudice goes far beyond Jane Austen fanfiction to give the curious reader a titillating taste of how it would feel to be Mrs. Darcy. Every woman wants to be Elizabeth Bennet Darcy—beautiful, gracious, universally admired, strong, daring, and outspoken—a thoroughly modern woman in crinolines. And every woman will fall madly in love with Mr. Darcy—tall, dark, and handsome, a nobleman and a heartthrob whose virility is matched only by his utter devotion to his wife. Their passion is consuming and idyllic—essentially, they can't keep their hands off each other—through a sweeping tale of adventure and misadventure, human folly, and numerous mysteries of parentage. Keep your smelling salts handy: this steamy bonnet-ripper is Austen like never before. What Readers Are Saying: "I found myself up until 3AM because I couldn't stop and have read it again and again." "Who says Jane Austen can't be literate AND sexy... I just kept envisioning Colin Firth all hot and sweaty." "A lady needs to have a fan and her smelling salts at hand to read this modern day sequel to Pride and Prejudice." "This is probably my favorite feel-good book; I end up giggling in almost every chapter" "I am reading it for the 8th time since I bought it four years ago." "I laughed, I cried, and I blushed!" "It's the love story we hoped for Lizzy and Darcy. The writing is witty, the language superb and I have gone back to this book many times when I simply didn't have anything else on hand!" "If you want to know what happens to Darcy and Elizabeth after they are married and uncensored, this is the book for you!"

Book excerpt: A sequel faithful to Jane Austen's beloved masterpiece, Pride and Prejudice. Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy have been married for almost a year, and their heated arguments are a thing of the past. All that passion is now directed into more satisfying pursuits. But how long can the honeymoon last? The couple's idyllic life together at Pemberley is jeopardized by the secrets they begin keeping from each other, the troubles of their closest friends, and the threat of a villain in their midst. Layers of seemingly innocent deception are building between Darcy and Elizabeth, threatening their relationship. He is conducting some covert business dealings that he's unwilling to share with his wife, and she likewise begins keeping things from him against her own better judgment. The couple also becomes embroiled in the tribulations of Mr. Darcy's younger sister, Georgiana, and his friend and cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam. Fitzwilliam falls victim to their aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, as the object of her latest scheme to make a noble match for her daughter. The arrangement satisfies the ambitions of the couple's parents, but appears to hold little prospect of happiness for Anne and Fitzwilliam, who each harbor other romantic interests. During this same period, Georgiana runs the gamut of emotions as she comes of age. Her elation at her birthday ball soon crumbles when she learns the man she secretly admires is engaged to another. The excitement of a London season and the attention of two other eligible suitors cannot make her forget her disappointment over her lost first love. As the story progresses, the menacing shadow of Mr. Darcy's life-long nemesis looms ever-larger. By carelessness and design, Mr. Wickham and Lydia painfully intrude into the lives of the Darcys and the Bingleys, with disastrous results. The Darcys of Pemberley is the tale of two romances: the continuation of Darcy and Elizabeth's story, and the courtship of Miss Georgiana. For those of us who didn't want Pride and Prejudice to end, this charming novel gives the opportunity to learn what happens after the wedding, to revisit all our old friends and foes, and to share the next chapter of their lives. Ms. Winslow carries on the saga much as Jane Austen herself might have - true to her style, her sensibilities, and the delightful characters she created.

With a husband like Fitzwilliam Darcy, every pleasure and fantasy is open to exploration. Yet, when word arrives from London that her dear sister, Mary Bennet, has been arrested for murder, Elizabeth must enter a whole new world of debauchery by becoming a member - and devotee - of the exclusive Roslindale Club. The Roslindale, a highly secret association for England's wealthiest, offers an array of lustful opportunities, each more scandalous than the next. Elizabeth must discover how far she is willing to go to fit in with her new, depraved peers, all the while knowing the true killer might well be moving among them. Can Elizabeth clear her sister's name in time or will the wondrous depravity of the Roslindale destroy her, too?

Book excerpt: This novel is not conventional Jane Austen Fan Fiction; it is aimed at a discerning readership more familiar with Regency mores and history. It does not indulge in the usual Darcy-Elizabeth "love-life" depicted in romance literature. Darcy is somewhere in the background: it is Elizabeth's life and character we focus on. In this novel Elizabeth goes through a period of considerable hardships and uncertainty; and at times her relationship with Darcy is at a low ebb. She experiences moments of happiness and also of heartache. Nonetheless, this narrative has a happy ending for both of them, albeit unconventional. Elizabeth Bennet is the second daughter of a gentleman of modest means. Her father is master of a small estate in the south of England. Her mother is shallow and indolent; she has taught her daughters little of value to prepare them for marriage. Elizabeth, however, is bright: she loves reading; and as her father's favourite was encouraged to learn. She plays the pianoforte, but not very well. In most other essentials, such as drawing and painting, she is deficient. Elizabeth can dance, as any of her siblings were keen to learn so as to attend the local assemblies, but none of them has had a coming out. Mr Bennet hates London and has kept his daughters from polite society in Town. And yet, at the age of twenty, she marries Fitzwilliam Darcy, an extremely rich man who is also well-connected in society. Overnight, she is elevated to the position of Mistress on Mr Darcy's vast estates in Derbyshire. As Mrs Darcy, she wants to do well. Her optimism is dampened somewhat by the magnitude of the task and, in no small way, by the servants who seem to resist change, having been left to their own devices for over ten years since her predecessor had died. Elizabeth has much to learn but events continually overtake her. Towards the end of the second year of her marriage, she is still childless. There is as yet no heir. The Peace has been declared and for the first time in her life England is not at war. But circumstances conspire to make Elizabeth's life miserable. During the next twelvemonth, as the war returns, Elizabeth's struggles intensify. Why does her sister-in-law enjoy precedence over her; and which dark secrets lie behind the insidious legacy left by Lady Anne, her predecessor? Marriage has deprived her of a confidant: her best friend is far away; and her dear sister Jane, like her, is marooned on a distant estate. Letters are almost her only means of keeping in touch with them. But, Elizabeth makes new friends; she gradually gains the trust of her staff, and finally establishes herself as the Mistress of Pemberley."

But all this is threatened when, on the eve of the annual autumn ball, the guests are preparing to retire for the night when a chaise appears, rocking down the path from Pemberley's wild woodland. As it pulls up, Lydia Wickham - Elizabeth Bennet's younger, unreliable sister - stumbles out screaming that her husband has been murdered. Two great literary minds - master of suspense P.D.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (New cover, for the same book) A sequel to Jane Austen's 'Pride & Prejudice', inspired by the 1995 BBC adaptation and in its spirit,'From This Day Forward' explores life at Pemberley after Elizabeth Bennet's marriage to Fitzwilliam Darcy, and the turns their fates might have taken. On a crisp winter morning in a small country church, Miss Elizabeth Bennet married Mr Darcy – and her quiet, tame existence had abruptly changed. The second daughter of a country gentleman is now many different things, to different people. Beloved wife. Mistress of a dauntingly great estate. Reluctant socialite. Daughter. Sister. Cousin. Friend. Her world is very different too, touched by a series of events that the creator of'Pride & Prejudice' would have recognised. As the days of her married life go by, bringing both joy and turmoil, the man that stands beside her is her shelter and comfort in the face of family opposition, peril and heartbreak. Three very different Christmas seasons come to serve as landmarks to their lives and there are blissful days and times of sorrow at the old English country house. And before too long, a time would come when Darcy must decide if he is prepared to risk everything for the sake of a full life together - or succumb to the collection of his fears. "Quiet footsteps, eerily quiet, drew him from his trance. He looked up – and followed. The ghostly sound faded as he reached the eastern staircase and he took the steps two at a time, down to the very bottom. A madman's quest for he knew not what pushed him to the gallery. In the light of the moon, from her portrait, his grandfather's first wife looked down upon him with the deepest compassion. He dug his fingers in his hair. A long, dry sob racked his chest as he pounded the frame of the unfortunate woman's likeness, and broken gilt plaster fell to the floor. He covered his mouth with his fist, stifling the groan. And ran out of the deathly silent room, chased by his demons."

Book excerpt: Elizabeth Bennet may capture Mr. Darcy's heart, but what is the truth of her past?When Fitzwilliam Darcy meets Miss Elizabeth Bennet, a simple country girl from a humble estate, he has no idea that she-and indeed, the entire town of Meryton-harbours a secret. Before she meets Darcy, Elizabeth has spent two years hiding from the men who killed her beloved first husband. Feeling destroyed by love, Elizabeth is certain she will never loving again, certainly not the haughty man who can do nothing but offend her in Hertfordshire.In time, Elizabeth surprises herself by finding in Darcy a friend; even greater is her surprise to find herself gradually coming to love him and? even accepting an offer of marriage from him. As the newlyweds are just beginning to settle into their happily-ever-after, a condemned man on his way to the gallows divulges a shattering truth, a secret that contradicts everything Elizabeth thought she knew about the tragic circumstances of her first marriage. Against the advice of everyone who loves her-including Darcy-Elizabeth begins to ask questions. But the truth could destroy them both.
