A Shared History: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

ELIZABETH BENNET HAS A one fateful spring in Rosings Park in Kent, she met and fell in love with Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy. Their connexion was nearly instantaneous and sweet but ended abruptly and disastrously. Elizabeth was left heartbroken and nursing a grudge that she kept hidden from everyone, even her dearest sister Jane.

THREE YEARS LATER, Jane is planning her wedding to Mr Charles Bingley of Netherfield Park. To Elizabeth’s surprise—and dismay—she learns that Mr Darcy is due to attend the wedding in Hertfordshire. With her opinion of Darcy catastrophically low, Elizabeth is ready to spar with him at every turn during their awkward reunion.

MR DARCY ARRIVES AT LONGBOURN wondering if it would prove a second chance for the love with the dark haired beauty he had not stopped thinking of for three years. Alas, with Elizabeth clearly still feeling the sting of his rejection, and worse, on the verge of accepting the offer of another man, it seems all might just be lost. But might her outward animosity be reflective of the remnants of an underlying romantic connexion? Swords will certainly be drawn between the two, but could sparks fly too?

A SHARED HISTORY is a variation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and includes hidden love, enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance, a love triangle, and above all a happily ever after for Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.
