Book excerpt: The events occur three years after the original events of Pride & Prejudice, but before the Netherfield ball. Darcy receives a visit in his isolated manor in Cornwall. It is Charles Bingley, and he has come to ask for a favor... There is nothing Elizabeth Bennet likes more than a laugh - except for a mystery. From the moment she first encounters Mr. Darcy, she senses he is hiding something. But the more she tries to find out about who he is, the more evasive he becomes. However, Elizabeth soon turns her attention to someone else. As Mrs. Bennet points out, Mr. Darcy is a nobody, and Elizabeth needs to marry someone who can provide for her and her sisters. Meanwhile, Mr. Darcy doesn't want anyone to know about the scandal that haunts him from the past. He certainly doesn't need someone like Miss Bennet, who asks him questions and tries to slip him up. Fortunately, he is more than equal to the task of putting her off. What he doesn't expect is that before he knows it, he finds himself longing to tell her the truth. Are Elizabeth and Darcy meant to come together in this variation, or is Elizabeth destined for somebody else?Note: Mysterious Mr. Darcy is not a mystery. It is a 'what-if' in which Mr. Darcy has to deal with the consequences of his past, a past that will change the shape of his future.

Download or read book The Curse of Land s End written by Rose Lorimer and published by . This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How far would you go to save the one you truly love? Mr Darcy is a man plagued by nightmares and guilt. Something buried in his past is always trying to emerge. Unable to overcome his pain, he hides from the world. Until a letter reaches him. Bingley, one of his best friends, is inviting him to spend some time at the coast, in the neighbouring area of Penzance, Cornwall, where he is not just dealing with his business, but also enjoying the first months of his new life as a married man. His bride is an angel-like gentlewoman called Jane, whom he met during a visit to Hertfordshire, last Summer. In case Darcy accepts, Bingley has only one request to make: that he may bring with him one of his new sisters, a Miss Elizabeth, as a favour to his dearest wife. After such a painful summer, and considering he had already missed his friend's wedding, against all the odds, Darcy decides to accept. What he does not know is that this single decision will change his life forever. First, because he will meet the only woman not just handsome enough to tempt him, but also the one who breaks the walls of his prison, opening for him a door to a happiness he never thought possible. And, second, because he will never be the same ever again after this, which will also be the most terrifying experience of his life. "The Curse of Land's End" is a story about secrets, intrigue and mysteries which challenges rationality and faith, and demands a courage strong enough to transcend every instinct of self-preservation in the name of honour and love. "You will do nothing in this world without courage, for it is the greatest quality of the mind next to honour." (Aristotle) FROM THE AUTHOR Suddenly, I felt compelled to write a story which would take me far from my, and JAFF, comfort zone, and try something new. It was watching 'Crimson Peak', a biting-nail horror story, that the inspiration finally came to me. How would it be to write a story about ghosts... but without ghosts, combining romance and mystery? For this, I set "The Curse" story in 1815, a year still comprehended in the Romanticism, a movement marked by the exaltation of feelings of loss and guilt related both to nature and men; drama is an essential component of the works of this time. "Songs of Experience", by William Blake (1794), "The Corsair", by Lord Byron (1814), and "Frankenstein", by Mary Shelley (1818), are all good examples of how committed they were in exploring human's woes; sometimes the sombre tone and dramatic plots are almost too depressing to endure. I can well understand the bad reviews related to this point. But I cannot regret my choice. As another reviewer said, we are all entitled to our own opinions. I grant -- my choice in writing a story using Romantic features was bold, but, for me, the result was very pleasing, especially considering the happy ending -- what was not the norm for the Romantics. I should not be saying this, but it doesn't matter how much Literature I study, I always love a good happy ending. Another important choice was the deep POV of ODC. In P&P, we live the story through the eyes of Elizabeth and don't learn about Darcy's struggles until very close to the end. I intended to show the huge abyss between his aloof appearance and his troubled mind, and, for that, I needed a good reason. If you read the book, you will understand. To give it an extra kick, I portrayed Darcy as raised with strong religious convictions, strengthening the stakes at risk. I needed him to keep questioning what his own eyes had seen.A visit to Land's End some years ago sealed the deal. The dramatic landscape and climate (it was ridiculously foggy the day we visited - hence the cover) and the pirate story (yes! Captain Samuel Bellamy was a real Cornish pirate) was the perfect place for it.And this is how "The Curse of Land's End" came to life. www.roselorimer.com

Download or read book A Change of Fortunes written by Shana Granderson A Lady and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-25 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if, unlike canon, the Bennets had sons? Could it be, if both father and mother prayed to God and begged for a son that their prayers would be answered? If the prayers were granted how would the parents have been different and what kind of life would the family have? In many Pride and Prejudice variations the Bennet parents are portrayed as borderline neglectful with Mr. Bennet caring only about making fun of others, reading and drinking his port while shutting himself away in his study. Mrs. Bennet is often shown as flighty, unintelligent and a character to laugh at. The Bennet parent's marriage is often shown as a mistake where there is no love, could there be love there that has been stifled due to circumstances? In this book, some of those traits are present, but we see what a different set of circumstances does to the parents and the family as a whole. Most of the characters from canon are here along with some new characters to help broaden the story. The normal villains are present with one added who is not normally a villain per se and I trust that you, my dear reader, will like the way that they are all 'rewarded' in my story. We find a much stronger and more resolute Bingley. Jane Bennet is serene, but not without a steely resolve. I feel that both need to be portrayed with more strength of character for the purposes of this book. Sit back, relax and enjoy and my hope is that you will be suitably entertained.
