About this listen
Elizabeth Bennet is visiting her friend Charlotte—now Mrs. Collins—at Hunsford when they are invited to Rosings Park, the luxurious estate of Mr. Collins’ matron, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. To her surprise, she meets a former acquaintance there, one she never would have expected to see again—Mr. Darcy!
It turns out that Mr. Darcy is the nephew of Lady Catherine, and is now visiting his aunt with his younger sister, Georgiana. Elizabeth becomes quick friends with the spirited young girl, who is not at all as proud as a certain Mr. Wickham once described. There is however a person at Rosings Park who treats her with uttermost arrogance—but it isn’t Mr. Darcy. In fact, it is Mr. Darcy whose company provides an easy respite from the suffocating atmosphere of Rosings Park.
Slowly, Elizabeth starts to see a different side to the man whom she had once considered proud and arrogant.
But is this the true Mr. Darcy after all?
The Garden of Roses is a sweet, clean romance novella suitable for all lovers of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.

Story
I am not the Bingley she remembers. Not the affable bachelor with easy smiles and a pliant nature. That man died—if he ever truly existed—the day my inheritance became a burden and every affection a liability. When Jane Bennet came to me, seeking security for her family, I offered her what I thought I could safely give: protection, provision, and nothing more. But Jane is not the quiet ornament society mistook her for. Beneath her grace lies quiet defiance, and a will strong enough to unsettle every carefully ordered part of my life. I offered her safety—she offered me surrender. And ...

Some houses are haunted by ghosts. Pemberley is haunted by its master. When Elizabeth Bennet arrives at the great estate to care for the ailing Miss Darcy, she finds more than shadows behind closed doors. Whispers echo through the west wing. Mirrors reflect memories that are not her own. And Fitzwilliam Darcy—her former suitor—roams the halls with a gaze hollowed by secrets. What tragedy silenced Pemberley's music? Why does the scent of foxglove cling to Lady Anne’s locked rooms? And why does Darcy speak as if his heart no longer belongs to him? Drawn into a web of suspicion, desire, ...

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 ...

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
Set in late 1811, this story of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet begins in London and follows a different path from the original beloved novel. The Bennet family’s dynamics are changed when Mrs. Bennet dies after having an heir.Loosely based on the true story of the London horrors in December 1811, our characters’ lives are intertwined with the murders in London that result in confusion and misunderstanding, but true love wins out and our heroes live happily ever after.Rated T for crime-related theme and mild language.
