Book excerpt: In Pemberley Beach, worlds collide at a high-society party where Will Darcy slights Elizabeth Bennet's looks, setting the stage for their tumultuous relationship, fueled by wit, pride and an undercurrent of desire. A contemporary twist on Jane Austen's beloved Pride and Prejudice, Pemberley Beach is set amongst the sun and sand of a modern seashore resort where Elizabeth's quest to escape the trailer park she grew up in leads her into the path of arrogant Darcy, owner of beachfront Pemberley estate. Elizabeth's playful, teasing remarks are hard to ignore, and Darcy battles his unwitting attraction to her as his best friend starts dating Elizabeth's older sister Jane. Suspicion about the Bennet girls' reputation as "gold diggers" triggers controversy and misunderstandings. After some verbal sparring at a private pool club, Darcy propositions Elizabeth - not with marriage as in the original Pride and Prejudice but with sex. She turns him down, giving him a tongue lashing he'll never forget. Contrite, Darcy apologizes and invites Elizabeth to a swanky jazz party at Pemberley. Sparks fly. What would their families and friends say if they started dating? Enter seductive Wickham, Darcy's nemesis, who poisons Elizabeth's mind with outrageous stories about Darcy's cruelty toward "his social inferiors." Wickham, who's as handsome as Darcy, does more than flirt with Elizabeth, and then uses his allure on her 18-year-old sister Lydia, weaving a web of deception and indiscretion that jeopardizes not only Elizabeth's reputation but her burgeoning career as a music teacher. Amid the escalating scandal, which has the whole town whispering, Darcy is confronted with a choice: give up on his undeniable feelings for Elizabeth or take a stand against the idea that Pemberley Beach would be polluted by someone like her.

Download or read book Love and Candy written by Elizabeth Famous and published by . This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and Candy is a poignant New Adult/Young Adult romance that doesn't shy away from the gritty details and overwrought emotion of a young woman's coming of age. Samantha Montclare is not who she thought she was. Straitlaced and academically minded, she's knocked to her knees by an unexpected infatuation with the star of her local soccer team just as she discovers that her biological father is not the loving dad who raised her but a forbidding Italian aristocrat. Within the social hierarchy of a wealthy suburban high school, Delaney Troy is so superior to naive Samantha that she can't speak to him without provoking obscene taunts from his friends. Delaney is gorgeous, but much of Samantha's fascination stems from his brazen honesty and bristling wit. His air of confidence inspires so powerful an interest he draws her in without even looking at her. But how could she possibly date a guy like Delaney who insists he only wants to hook up -- and doesn't believe in love? Will the scandalous truth about the circumstances of her conception threaten her happy home life? Must she find a place in her life for an alarming new "father" just as she's becoming an independent young woman? Reviews of LOVE and CANDY: "A sweet, humorous and endearing coming of age story. Really something special!" "Praise for Elizabeth Famous and this beautifully written and refreshingly unique coming of age story! It made me feel a plethora of emotions...borderline bipolar (and I loved every moment of it)." "Well, I truly enjoyed it but was also greatly surprised (in a good way)."

Download or read book P D James written by Laurel A. Young and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-05-31 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British National Health Service employee Phyllis Dorothy James White (1920-2014) reinvented herself at age 38 as P.D. James, crime novelist. She then became long known as England's "Queen of Crime." Sixteen of her 20 novels feature one or both of her series detectives, Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard and private eye Cordelia Gray. Stand-alone works include the dystopian The Children of Men (1992) and Death Comes to Pemberley (2011), a sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

Yet James's work is thoroughly modern, with realistic descriptions of police procedures and the echoes and aftereffects of crime. This literary companion includes more than 700 encyclopedic entries covering the characters, settings and themes of her published writing, along with a career chronology, chronological and alphabetical listings of her works, and an exhaustive index.
