Mr Darcys Abducted Bride by Julie Cooper
ON THE DAY AFTER MR BINGLEYS BALL at Netherfield Park, Fitzwilliam Darcy is determined to leave Hertfordshire and put the delightfully beguiling Elizabeth Bennet out of his mind. As he is preparing to leave, however, he hears some horrifying news. Mr Collins, it seems, intends to make Elizabeth an offer of marriage. Mrs Bennet—panicked by Mr Bennet’s illness—will stop at nothing to ensure that her obstinate, headstrong girl accepts it and becomes Mrs Collins as soon as is possible.
RUSHING TO LONGBOURN, Darcy finds that Mrs Bennet has contrived to make Elizabeth out of her wits while she and Mr Collins plan for an immediate wedding. Recognising that Elizabeth will find herself bound to a ridiculous man for life, Darcy acts a hero, rescuing her and removing her from harm, intending to keep her away from the dastardly duo until she has regained her wits.
DAZED AND CONFUSED BY THE STRANGE GOINGS-ON at Longbourn, Elizabeth finds herself thrust into a terrifying journey alone with Mr Darcy. Mr Collins and her mother will stop at nothing to see their plans carried to fruition, and Mr Darcy is her only chance of salvation. Can she learn to trust him quickly enough to discern which of the choices before her will lead to happiness?
A Case of Some Urgency by Mary Smythe
When Lydia Bennet elopes with George Wickham it seems certain that the fledging second chance at love between Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy has been destroyed. Dashing home from her visit to Pemberley, Elizabeth Bennet re-reads Darcy’s letter and regrets what surely can never be, not now.
Desperate times often call for desperate measures, as Mr Bennet is soon to discover under the most painful of circumstances. His search for Lydia and Wickham is proving unfruitful and still worse—he has discovered signs of a secret romance between his most sensible second daughter and none other than Mr Darcy.
Seeing an opportunity to both avoid ruination and perhaps have some redemption of the family name, Mr Bennet is quick to visit Mr Darcy with a proposed solution. But every solution provides a new set of challenges for Darcy and Elizabeth in this tale of romance lost and found.
