I signed my maiden name first before memorializing my new name. Elizabeth Madeline Darcy. Elizabeth Bennet lay dead on the altar of matrimony. HAVING SIGNED THE REGISTER as Elizabeth Darcy, the former Miss Elizabeth Bennet must somehow survive a crushing scandal as a stranger to herself. Her unwilling husband is so outraged to find himself tied to a person he thinks no better than a fortune hunter that she is forbidden to speak of the circumstances behind their union. Indeed, Mr. Darcy seems to loathe even the sound of her voice, and often Elizabeth's only recourse is to be silent.

For the sake of a most beloved sister, and for their father’s dying wish, Elizabeth would make herself submit... When her dying father demands one daughter marry the heir to Longbourn and the other wed a wealthy elderly widower, Elizabeth makes the hardest choice of her life. She becomes the wife of sixty-year-old Mr. Ashwood—a marriage in name only that leaves her more a daughter than a bride. Four years later, Elizabeth is a widow at twenty, impoverished and estranged from the sister she once adored.

I had been thrown most unwillingly back into the vicinity of Elizabeth Bennet's net. How often had I told myself I did not want to get caught by her? But of course I did. Fitzwilliam Darcy is hiding on the roof of a folly when he hears Elizabeth Bennet describe him as a man she could never love. It is, he will later reflect, not his finest hour.

When Mr Darcy discovers Elizabeth Bennet's true feelings, he's grateful the ill-fated proposal he had planned to make in Kent was stopped. But as the London Season drags on, he realizes the truth: he cannot be happy without her. Determined to become the man worthy of her regard, he returns to Hertfordshire with a singular purpose—to win her heart. If only it were that simple. Darcy has indeed reformed himself, tempering his pride and learning humility, but Elizabeth's wounded feelings and lingering resentment cannot be overcome in a day.

Rather than protect their daughter like any good parent should, first Fanny and then Thomas Bennet push their sixteen-year-old daughter Elizabeth into a marriage with a much older man who happens to be a duke. Fanny is seduced by the fact he is a duke, even if he is not interested in Jane, something she cannot believe at first, and his willingness to dower her remaining four daughters. For Bennet, when the Duke offers to break the entail on Longbourn after a certain condition is met, his half-hearted opposition to the match dissipates.

This book looks at how everything would be different if the Duke of Hertfordshire was not a bad person, if he was in fact, a very good and honourable man. When he is still the Marquess of Hertford, Lord Archibald Winston Chamberlain makes an ill-advised agreement with his father, Lord Winston Chamberlain, the current Duke of Hertfordshire. When the Marquess is in his twenties, he is informed that his father will arrange a match for him.

Lucas Mayfield, the Eighth Earl of Heightford, couldn’t be more pleased with the private club that is his brainchild. But when a young courtesan at the club’s masquerade appears far too innocent, his suspicions are raised - along with his interest...until her gleaming hair tumbles down and he recognizes her as the Duke of Chatterwood’s beautiful daughter. How did the minx even know the place existed? And how has he allowed himself to give in to temptation and kiss her? Even more perplexing is this: she has vowed the kiss won’t be the last.

Der idyllische Ort am Meer mit den herzlichen Bewohnern bietet der jungen Frau einen Neuanfang, von dem sie nicht zu träumen gewagt hat.

William hat mit seinen eigenen Dämonen zu kämpfen.

"Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance," or so Charlotte Lucas claims. Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy put this notion to the test when they find themselves in a passionate and unexpected marriage.

Thomas Jennings arrives to his newly acquired estate to find that his steward has fled under a cloud of scandal, and the property has been held together by Miss Loris Tanner, the steward's daughter. Thomas knows what it's like to not fit in, and he's pragmatic enough to respect results, so he gives Loris a chance to maintain her position in a profession uniformly undertaken by men.

Grace’s four older sisters have married and moved away, and life is very quiet and boring. It’s so stifling being female, occupying herself with her tapestry or painting, when she’d much rather have been a soldier, galloping about with a sword in her hand. She wouldn’t mind marrying because who wants to be an old maid? But all her suitors are dullards are only interested in her dowry. If only something exciting would happen!

She needs a champion. He needs one less person to worry about. Selena Lockhart comes with neither dowry nor connections, and she knows better than to expect Society to give her a welcome—especially after her father gambled away his fortune, precipitating the family’s sudden fall from grace...

He's carrying a torch... Graham MacNeil wants nothing to do with the family earldom, much less with a drafty castle full of rumgumptious relatives, or with the nosy neighbors determined to inspect the prodigal laird. His sole reason for returning from exile is to discover the truth behind the...
