About this listen
A reluctant nurse. A difficult patient. An unexpected love story.
When a sudden storm, a spooked horse, and a broken leg leave the formidable Mr. Darcy bedridden at Netherfield Park, Elizabeth Bennet finds herself reluctantly enlisted as his nurse. Confined to his sickroom and stripped of his usual defenses, Darcy can no longer hide behind his mask of pride and reserve. As fever and pain make him vulnerable in ways he never intended, Elizabeth begins to see glimpses of the true man beneath the austere exterior.
For Elizabeth, whose famous prejudice against Mr. Darcy has been firmly established since his slight at the Meryton assembly, this unexpected intimacy presents a dilemma. The man she comes to know during his convalescence bears little resemblance to the proud, disagreeable gentleman she believed him to be. His tenderness toward his sister, his dry wit when unguarded, and his unexpected gratitude for her forthright manner leave her increasingly confused about her own feelings.
This captivating variation on Jane Austen's beloved classic explores how physical vulnerability can lead to emotional openness, and how true understanding often comes when we are forced to see beyond our first impressions.
Perfect for fans of Pride and Prejudice adaptations who appreciate the familiar beloved characters while exploring new pathways to happily ever after.

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. She impulsively reacts and finds her life altered forever. Caution: This story contains brief, non-graphic descriptions of violence, death, and war.

Author’s Note: This book features NO significant changes! The story has been re-published with a new cover and minor changes, but it brings nothing new to the readers who have already purchased or read it! Elizabeth d’Arcy is one of my boldest twists—in terms of plot, that is 😊. Napoleon’s spies, outlaws, dangers, and love above all—this story has it all. When Darcy is assaulted in his own home, nearly everyone assumes it is the handiwork of a common thief searching for valuable items—everyone except his aunt Lady Antoinette Darcy. With the sole missing item being the family ...

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 ...

Attention: Please note that this is the second edition of this book. Apart from an updated formatting, there is no new content for those who have already read or purchased the previous edition. ‘One Little White Lie’ is the third variation of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ by Lyr Newton, the author of the bestselling ‘Mr Darcy’s Household’. It is undoubtedly the most romantic of the three and also the longest.

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 ...
