Alone with Mr. Darcy: A Pride & Prejudice Variation

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 Alone with Mr. Darcy:

5 Regency Stars! "Way back in 2011 when reviewing What Would Mr. Darcy Do? for my blog I wrote, €œI would like to hereby bestow the title of €˜Queen of the Austen Retelling€ to Abigail Reynolds.€ Although many years have passed since my proclamation, not much has changed. Every time I get to read a new work by Reynolds I€m always so excited to get a slice of her creative energy that makes her works so exciting....I mention it time and time again when reviewing Abigail Reynolds€ works, but I am struck every time by her ability to imagine such intricate recreations based on Jane Austen€s novels." - Austenprose

Praise for Abigail Reynolds

€œIf 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

€œIf 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.€ Publishers Weekly
