The residents of flood-stricken Hunsford, seeking refuge in the parsonage atop the hill, are unaware they are interrupting Darcy's disastrous proposal.

Verliebt in die Verlobte seines Bruders...Was Fitzwilliam Darcy anbelangt, gab es nur ein Gutes daran, dass Elizabeth Bennet sein Herz gebrochen und seine Hand so bitter zurückgewiesen hat: Seine neu gefundene Entschlossenheit, ein besserer Mensch zu werden. Und das hatte er auch umgesetzt, indem er den schmerzlichen Graben zwischen sich und seinem entfremdeten jüngeren Bruder Drew überbrückt hat. Und nun ist Drew frisch verlobt...mit Elizabeth Bennet.Die Pflicht für seine Familie zwingt Darcy dazu, das Verlöbnis zu unterstützen, insbesondere, da auch nur der kleinste Hauch von Missbilligung die hart erkämpfte Versöhnung mit seinem Bruder zunichtemachen könnte. Aber wie kann er es ertragen, dabei zusehen zu müssen, wie sein Bruder die Frau heiratet, die er selbst liebt? Mit ansehen zu müssen, wie sie in Drews Armen liegt, Drews Kinder zur Welt bringt und für immer außerhalb seiner Reichweite ist?Eine kompromittierende Situation, die sie sich nicht ausgesucht habenElizabeth bleibt keine Wahl, als den Antrag des gutaussehenden Drew Darcys anzunehmen. Er ist liebenswert, gebildet und achtbar, und wenn er nicht diesen Nachnamen trüge, hätte sie auch nichts dagegen gehabt. Aber den Bruder jenes Gentlemans zu heiraten, den sie nur ein paar Monate zuvor so kühl abgewiesen hatte? Besonders nun, da ihr bewusst wird, dass ihre Gefühle nicht gerade schwesterlicher Natur sind. Wie könnte sie Drew heiraten, während sie sich eigentlich nach seinem Bruder sehnt? Aber der Preis, den sie für die Auflösung ihres Verlöbnisses zahlen müsste, wäre ein ruinierter Ruf und damit würde sie jede Hoffnung auf ein Leben mit Darcy verlieren.Gefangen zwischen Loyalität, Liebe und Anstand, gibt es keinen Ausweg. Doch alte Familiengeheimnisse halten die beiden Darcy Brüder in Atem. Könnten diese Geheimnisse alles verändern, wenn sie gelüftet würden?Mit dieser intensiven und gefühlvollen Variation von Jane Austens Stolz und Vorurteil werden Sie sich noch einmal ganz von Neuem in Elizabeth und Darcy verlieben.

In einem Regency-England, in dem Magie und Feen real sind...Fitzwilliam Darcy ist ein mächtiger Magier, der Feuer, Wasser und Wind unter Kontrolle hat. Was er allerdings nicht kontrollieren kann, sind seine wachsenden Gefühle für Miss Elizabeth Bennet. Aber Darcy hat auch geschworen, die Gesetze zu beachten, die es Frauen verbieten, ihre Magie einzusetzen, und Elizabeth weiß das.Elizabeths Gefühle für Darcy könnten unterschiedlicher nicht sein: Sie verabscheut seine Arroganz, und sie fürchtet, er wird sie bloßstellen, weil sie unerlaubterweise ihre Magie einsetzt. Er ist der letzte Mensch auf Erden, von dem sie sich bei einem schwierigen und gefährlichen Unterfangen helfen lassen würde. Aber als ein magischer Krieg zwischen ihrer Welt und Faerie, dem Land der Feen, schwelt, verlangt ein Feenlord, dass Darcy und Elizabeth gemeinsam als seine Vermittler zwischen den Welten fungieren, um Frieden mit den anderen Sterblichen zu schließen. Diese Mission wirft sie mitten in ein chaotisches Kräftemessen zwischen Magiern, gegen deren Kräfte ihre geradezu zwergenhaft erscheinen und alles, was Elizabeth über ihre Familie, ihre Freunde und ihre Feinde zu wissen geglaubt hat, wird plötzlich in Frage gestellt. Diese magische Variation von Jane Austens Stolz und Vorurteil lässt das Land der Feen ebenso Realität werden wie das London des Regencys und Rosings Park und Bestsellerautorin Abigail Reynolds hat neue Herausforderungen für Darcy und Elizabeth in ihrer bis dato längsten und zauberhaftesten Geschichte in petto.

Allein mit Mr. Darcy...Elizabeth Bennet kann sich nichts Schlimmeres vorstellen, als während eines Schneesturms in einem winzigen Cottage mit dem stolzen und unfreundlichen Mr. Darcy festzusitzen. Dort aber über Tage - und auch die Nächte dazu - hinweg mit einem verletzten und verwirrten Mr. Darcy gefangen zu sein, der immer wieder die seltsamsten Dinge über sie sagt, ist sogar noch schlimmer. Zumindest besitzt er die nützliche Fähigkeit, ein Feuer zu entfachen, sodass sie sich nicht zu Tode frieren müssen. Als er aber seine Arme um sie legt, findet sie heraus, dass er nicht nur im Kamin ein Feuer entfachen kann. Und das kleine halberfrorene Kätzchen, das er im Holzstoß findet, stellt sich nicht als brauchbare Anstandsdame heraus.Sie nimmt ihm seine Versprechungen, sie zu heiraten, falls jemand etwas darüber herausfindet dass sie zwei Nächte allein verbracht haben, nicht wirklich ab, insbesondere nachdem sie herausfindet, dass er in der Vergangenheit von einer anderen Frau verraten wurde. Als ihre schlimmsten Befürchtungen wahr werden und ihr guter Ruf zerstört ist, wundert es sie nicht, dass sich Mr. Darcy rarmacht und ihr keine andere Wahl lässt, als sich schnellstmöglich einen Ehemann zu suchen, bevor ihre gesamte Familie ruiniert ist. Jeder Gatte wäre nun recht, ganz gleich, wie sehr er ihr widerstrebt. Auch wenn sie nicht aufhören kann, an Mr. Darcy zu denken... * Lob für Abigail Reynolds: "Falls Ihnen diese fesselnden und romantischen Pemberley-Variationen nicht bekannt sind: Es handelt sich dabei um Abwandlungen von Stolz und Vorurteil, die unsere geliebten Romanhelden auf einen etwas anderen Weg schicken.

There, he meets the alluring Elizabeth Bennet, whose dark eyes, engaging wit, and intelligent discourse thoroughly enchant him. A taciturn gentleman by nature, Darcy prefers to keep his emotions and desires on a tight rein, especially among strangers; but the degree of power Elizabeth wields over him not only tests his inherent ability to restrain himself, but greatly alarms him. Why does this bewitching slip-of-a-woman render his long-practiced self-control all but useless? Why does her father appear to dislike him so vehemently from the start? And what mysterious secret is her family intent on keeping from him-Mr. Bennet and her elder sister, Jane, especially-aside from Elizabeth's whereabouts, that is? But Darcy has a secret of his own; a secret he dreads coming to light for fear that Elizabeth will turn from him with horror and revulsion. But learn of it she does, and Darcy is shocked to discover that her reaction isn't at all what he expected.

Elizabeth claims to know Sir Anthony, too - but by a different name. What game is his old friend playing? And is it dangerous?Even Sir Anthony says the trip is dangerous. The Luddite rebels are on the verge of armed revolt - and he should know, because he's one of them. Darcy's cousin Lady Frederica decides she's going with them anyway, and insists on bringing Elizabeth. Could this be Darcy's chance to earn Elizabeth's forgiveness and her love?Elizabeth would rather face a squad of Napoleon's soldiers than spend three days trapped in a carriage with Darcy and his headstrong cousin, but she has her own reason for agreeing to come. If she can just manage to keep her temper, she may be able to rescue her uncle from financial ruin. But when a Luddite riot erupts around them, it's Darcy and Elizabeth who need rescuing - from each other.Mr. Darcy's Journey is a variation on Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice by nationally best-selling author Abigail Reynolds.Praise for Abigail Reynolds "If you are unfamiliar with these riveting and romantic variations, they are retellings of Pride and Prejudice that take our beloved hero and heroine down a slightly altered path.

In Jane Austens Klassiker "Stolz und Vorurteil" erwartet Elizabeth Bennet nicht, Mr. Darcy nach seinem desaströsen Antrag in Hunsford jemals wieder zu begegnen.

Once disguise of every sort had been his abhorrence. Now Darcy could hardly recall when he had not worn a disguise.Fitzwilliam Darcy is a traitor. And there is nothing Elizabeth Bennet despises more than a traitor.But Elizabeth can't make sense of Darcy. He openly admits to collaborating with the French after their invasion of England, but he doesn't act like a traitor. He risks his own safety to save young women from Napoleon's troops. And how can she despise a man who loves puppies? Something about him doesn't add up - and she finds him far too attractive.When Darcy's carefully constructed world crumbles, he must entrust his closest-held secret to Elizabeth, and suddenly everything makes sense. To protect that secret, Elizabeth must disappear entirely, plunging herself into the dizzying world of fashionable London and the dangers of the Loyalist Resistance. Nothing will ever be the same again.Darcy is determined to find Elizabeth. Now that she knows the truth about him, there's nothing to keep them apart - nothing, that is, until the day Darcy is forced to choose between his country and the life of the woman he loves..."Conceit & Concealment is an exhilarating tale of romance and rebellion, disguise and despair, action and angst, treachery and treason!

Many Christmas traditions and images of 'old fashioned' holidays are based on Victorian celebrations. Going back just a little further, to the beginning of the 19th century, the holiday Jane Austen knew would have looked distinctly odd to modern sensibilities. How odd? Families rarely decorated Christmas trees. Festivities centered on socializing instead of gift-giving. Festivities focused on adults, with children largely consigned to the nursery. Holiday events, including balls, parties, dinners, and even weddings celebrations, started a week before Advent and extended all the way through to Twelfth Night in January. Take a step into history with Maria Grace as she explores the traditions, celebrations, games and foods that made up Christmastide in Jane Austen's era. Packed with information and rich with detail from period authors, Maria Grace transports the reader to a longed-for old fashioned Christmas. Non-fiction
