About this listen
When Elizabeth Bennet receives an unexpected invitation from Thomas Harrington, a childhood friend who has recently inherited the magnificent Ashfield Park in Derbyshire, she anticipates nothing more than a pleasant reunion. Yet her visit proves far more complicated than expected, especially when a ball at Ashfield brings her face-to-face with Mr. Darcy, the man whose proposal she so firmly rejected months before.
As circumstances force Elizabeth to navigate between these two gentlemen, she discovers that first impressions—and even second ones—are not always reliable guides to a person's true character. While Thomas seems the amiable friend of her childhood memories, and Darcy appears changed from the proud man she once knew, Elizabeth must determine which man truly understands the balance between protection and respect for her independence.
With just the right amount of misunderstanding to challenge relationships without overwhelming angst, this Pride and Prejudice variation explores how Elizabeth and Darcy might find their way back to each other through unexpected channels. Their journey reveals that sometimes the path to happiness requires both acknowledging past mistakes and embracing the possibility of growth.
A tale of second chances and newfound understanding, Elizabeth's Predicament offers a fresh perspective on Austen's beloved characters while remaining true to their essential natures.

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
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.

Pride & Prejudice meets Groundhog Day This low angst story is about the repeated efforts that Mr. Darcy goes through to marry Elizabeth Bennet. Darcy has to deal with all the extraneous distractions, mainly people, that get in the way of courting Elizabeth. Many tropes are indulged, many arts and allurements are employed, and annoying relatives are given short shrift. Unabashedly Happy Ever After.

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 ...
