About this listen
“You will be coming out at your next birthday and you must act like the daughter of a gentleman so you can attract a husband!” Mrs. Bennet reminded her.
“Yes, Mamma.”
Elizabeth’s mouth was saying “yes,” but her heart was saying “no.” She visualized what it would be like at her first assembly. Would she dress like her older sister and be expected to flirt with prospective suitors? How would John Lucas and her other pals react to her if she acted as a young woman instead of as one of the boys?
As her mother droned on, she conjured a picture in her mind. Her mother was there in her imagination, sitting on a throne at the edge of the dance floor, surrounded by her friends. Jane was there, dressed as a lamb to be sacrificed on the altar of family security. Elizabeth entered the assembly. All eyes turned toward her, dressed by her mother in a ridiculous feminine and alluring dress. John Lucas came up to her and mockingly gave her a low bow and then burst into raucous laughter. Her other friends joined in, followed by the matrons and finally by Jane. In contrast, her mother looked pleased with herself, as if she had created a masterpiece that all could admire.
Mrs. Bennet’s second daughter had no interest in acting like a gentlewoman. The sooner Jane attracted a rich husband, the sooner Mrs. Bennet could stop complaining about the entail on their estate and the real prospect of being turned out to face genteel poverty. Elizabeth wasn’t thinking about her next birthday, nor of the dainty image she was expected to portray. She had her identity and she liked herself, just the way she was.

Story
So much in life depends on chance and sheer luck. How much do we often owe to being in the right place at the right time? In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet plans to visit the Lake District with her uncle and aunt, yet ends up at Pemberley instead, just as, by coincidence, Mr Darcy also arrives home. They meet, understand one another better and all eventually ends well. But what if they did not have such luck? What if Elizabeth actually went to the Lake District and was nowhere near Pemberley, and she and Mr Darcy never met again until another four years had gone by? Now...

Story
What's the worst that can happen when a Regency lady commits a Propriety Violation? Might she suffer acute embarrassment, a tarnished reputation, a forced marriage, shunning of her family, or something even more dire? These consequences might be devastating, but could we countenance a more nefarious possibility?Elizabeth Bennet is enjoying a peaceful morning stroll in Ramsgate when the pleasant sound of the waves is interrupted by a scream.

As society watches, secrets unravel. Elizabeth must navigate the weight of Pemberley, the pull of her family, and a growing affection she never meant to feel. And Darcy—quiet, proud, entirely undone—will have to risk everything to become the man she can trust. From the ...

Story
Author’s Note: ‘Flames and Passion at Netherfield’ is the second edition of a book originally released three years ago but removed shortly after. Its original title was ‘FROM PEMBERLEY TO PARADISE’. The story has now been re-published with a different title—one that better suits the narrative. Extensive editing has taken place (special thanks to Tish Holmes for her invaluable assistance), and certain changes have been made. However, the overall structure and main ideas remain consistent with the original version. The tale begins with a dramatic fire at Netherfield, just days ...

‘Elizabeth’s Covenant’ is more than just a new edition of one of Florence Gold’s early novels; it is a revised version that, while grounded in the same idea of a covenant undertaken by Elizabeth, it also reveals an entirely different underlying mystery. Elspeth Awbrey, formerly Bennet, is the sister of Mr Bennet and the guardian of traditions inherited from their Scottish ancestor, Elspeth MacLellan. Married to Oliver Bennet, the man who imposed the infamous entail on Longbourn, Elspeth MacLellan insisted that all their descendants, whether male or female, must fulfil a covenant to ...

Story
Darcy proposes to Elizabeth during her stay at Netherfield, while Jane is recovering—well before the disastrous proposal at Hunsford, and before Elizabeth has heard Wickham’s full story or visited Rosings. Because his attraction is stronger, or his pride momentarily loses control, he confesses his feelings too soon. Elizabeth, unarmed with Wickham’s lies and still unsure of her own opinions, hesitates. The social tension between their families and class remains, but the timeline shifts everything.
