Only Mr. Darcy Will Do

After Elizabeth Bennet refuses Mr. Darcy's offer of marriage, it takes a heavy toll on him. He withdraws to London and disappears near the docks, away from family, friends, and acquaintances. When he is mistaken for an escaped pirate, he is thrust into an adventure he would never have imagined. Will this be what he needs to forget the one woman he had come to love? When her aunt and uncle have to cancel their plans to tour the Lake District, Elizabeth Bennet has the opportunity to sail to the Isles of Scilly with her father. After a pleasant visit, the voyage home brings storms, a shipwreck, and pirates! When she is rescued by gallant Captain Smith, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to him. What will she do when she discovers he is the very man whose offer of marriage she refused just a few months earlier?

Pirates and Prejudice

On his return trip to Pemberley from Rosings after his offer of marriage was refused by Miss Elizabeth Bennet, Mr. Darcy's carriage overturns,and he is rendered unconscious.

Assumed Engagement

Mr.Darcy has learned he must prepare himself when he and his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, make their yearly visit to his aunt, particularly when it comes to Lady Catherine's expectation that he marry her daughter, Anne. This year, however, will throw in a few additional obstacles to Darcy's peace of mind with the presence of a nephew on the de Bourgh side of the family, and quite unexpectedly, Miss Elizabeth Bennet. An interrupted proposal, a letter written and unknowingly lost, a harsh accusation, and a rival all conspire to thwart Mr. Darcy in securing Miss Elizabeth Bennet's affections when he visits his aunt at Rosings. Will Elizabeth find the handsome and engaging Mr. Rickland more suited to her than Mr. Darcy? And will a novel she reads that was written secretly by Miss Anne de Bourgh help smooth the path to the couple finding true love?

Mr. Darcy's Rival

Et si la destinée d'Elizabeth et Darcy était contrariée ? Après le décès de son père, Elizabeth Bennet est envoyée comme gouvernante chez les Willstone. Ces derniers sont proches des vénérables familles Bingley et Darcy. Une fois n'est pas coutume, Elizabeth se retrouve dans le voisinage du séduisant mais terriblement insaisissable Fitzwilliam. Et pour ne rien arranger, la soeur de Mrs Willstone jette son dévolu sur ce dernier, redoublant de ruses pour le séduire. Avec le statut social qui est le sien, Elizabeth sait pertinemment que tout espoir concernant Mr Darcy est vain. D'ailleurs, c'est certain, il ne lui renouvellera jamais ses voeux. Car un an plus tôt, elle refusait sa main...
