Passion and Persistence: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
What if Mr. Darcy refused to walk away?
In this emotionally rich and clean Regency romance, Mr. Darcy does not surrender to rejection. After the disastrous Hunsford proposal, instead of retreating, he chooses to fight for the woman he loves. With clarity, humility, and renewed purpose, he returns to Hertfordshire—not by chance, but by design.
Elizabeth Bennet is not the same woman she was in Kent. As Darcy steadily reclaims her trust through thoughtful actions and growing respect, she is forced to reevaluate everything she believed about him—and herself.
From the author of Dear Sir and More Discerning, this Pride and Prejudice retelling reimagines the beloved story with powerful emotional turns, slow-burn romance, and character-driven evolution.

Jane Austen fan fiction
Second-chance love stories
Friends-to-lovers transformations

Will Elizabeth learn to trust again? Will Darcy’s persistence win her heart?
Rediscover Austen’s world—this time with a hero who will not let go.

Story
Tragedy strikes the Gardiner family and Elizabeth sacrifices her own prospects to help the family heal. She performs a heroic act while in London and then has to deal with the consequences for her and her family. Upon her return to Longhorn she attends the Assembly where Mr. Darcy very much does not act the gentleman. This is the story of a young woman overcoming all that is thrown at her, metaphorically. Caroline Bingley did not literally throw something at Elizabeth, however much she was tempted. This is variation on the classic story, with accurate historical details.

This is the 2nd edition of this book, updated for minor typos and formatting. It is the same book as published in 2023, it is not a new book. At the age of 13 Elizabeth Bennet met her reclusive neighbours and from that moment her life was changed forever. She learned the realities of life in Regency England for a young woman. What she learned disappointed and annoyed her, resulting in a young woman who held herself, and those around her, to a high standard. Rather than keep her constrained like so many young women, her neighbours encouraged her to be whatever she wanted. And if she wanted ...
