Pride and Pursuit: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

When a peaceful night’s stay at a posting inn is interrupted by a murderous attack by an old enemy, Fitzwilliam Darcy must flee for his life. With only the clothes on his back and his pursuer snapping at his heels, he resorts to desperate measures, including stealing an empty carriage to escape from his foe. Matters go from bad to worse when he discovers the purloined vehicle is not as abandoned as he thought!

Elizabeth Bennet’s day is supposed to be one of leisure and perhaps a bit of tedium as she returns home after a busy visit to London. Being jolted awake in her father’s carriage by a filthy madman raving about bloodthirsty adversaries while tearing through the countryside is not part of her plan.

Forced together by fate, Darcy and Elizabeth have no choice but to tolerate each other as their flight takes them through the wilds of Wales. Grudging acceptance softens to understanding and a budding friendship as the two unlikely companions discover there is more to each other than first impressions suggest.

But George Wickham is still in pursuit, and even the most ardent love might not be enough to survive his drive for vengeance.

Join Jane Austen's beloved characters in a new tale of panicked flight, undreamed-of adventure, and the power of love, in this thrilling and touching novel inspired by Pride and Prejudice.
