A modern adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and PrejudicePresident William Darcy has it all: wealth, intelligence, and the most powerful job in the country. Despite what his friends say, he is not lonely in the White House. He's not. And he has vowed not to date while he's in office. Nor is he interested in Elizabeth Bennet. She might be pretty and funny and smart, but her family is nouveau riche and unbearable. Unfortunately, he encounters her everywhere in Washington, D.C.-making her harder and harder to ignore. Why can't he get her out of his mind? Elizabeth Bennet enjoys her job with the Red Cross and loves her family, despite their tendency to embarrass her. At a White House state dinner, they cause her to make an unfavorable impression on the president, who labels her unattractive and uninteresting. Those words are immediately broadcast on Twitter, so the whole world now knows the president insulted her. Elizabeth just wants to avoid the man-who, let's admit it, is proud and difficult. For some reason he acts all friendly when they keep running into each other, but she knows he's judging her. Eventually, circumstances force Darcy and Elizabeth to confront their true feelings for each other, with explosive results. But even if they can find common ground, Mr. Darcy is still the president-with limited privacy and unlimited responsibilities-and his enemies won't hesitate to use his feelings for Elizabeth against him. Can President Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet find their way to happily ever after?

For over two hundred years, Jane Austen's Mr. Darcy has captivated readers' imaginations as the ultimate catch. Rich. Powerful. Noble. Handsome. And yet, as Miss Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" is established through Elizabeth Bennet's fine eyes, how are we to know his mind? How does Darcy progress from "She is tolerable: but not handsome enough to tempt me" to "I thought only of you"? In this romance anthology, fifteen Austen-inspired authors assemble to sketch Darcy's character through a series of re-imaginings, set in the Regency through contemporary times-from faithful narratives to the fanciful. Herein "The Darcy Monologues", the man himself reveals his intimate thoughts, his passionate dreams, and his journey to love-all told with a previously concealed wit and enduring charm.

Who's your Darcy? I never understood Mr. Darcy's appeal. Too sullen and broody for me. I'm happy dating Neil, a nice, normal guy. A nice, normal, sports-obsessed guy. When I agree to stand in for my sister at a Jane Austen seminar at Oxford University, I meet a peculiar older woman and soon find myself holding the lost first version of Pride and Prejudice. Entitled First Impressions, the manuscript in my hands is the one many scholars believe was destroyed long ago. As I read the first draft, written in Austen's own handwriting, I learn a secret about the iconic Darcy, as well as the truth about Jane Austen's struggle to understand what it takes to create a man worthy of her heroine.Is this my Darcy?When a tall, dark stranger crosses my path in real life, will I suddenly discover my inner Lizzie Bennett? Then Neil's unexpected arrival in England complicates my own journey - who is the hero to my heroine? A mysterious woman urges me to turn the manuscript over to her for safekeeping, but I don't know who I can trust. Why is everyone suddenly wanting to talk Darcy to me? And, really, who's my Darcy?Talk Darcy to Me is the story of how I learn that falling in love is the biggest adventure of all and that a true hero can appear in both the most unexpected -- and the most familiar - of places.*originally published in 2010 as Mr. Darcy Broke My Heart

Mr Darcy is not getting any younger, and at eight and twenty years old, he has decided it is high time he began looking for a wife in earnest. The day after the Meryton dance, Fitzwilliam Darcy sets out on a morning ride.When he comes across a young woman lying on the forest floor, he assumes she has either fainted or suffered an injury. Concerned there is no one with her, he dismounts and goes to offer her his assistance.As Darcy bends over her still form, he is surprised to see it is none other than Miss Elizabeth Bennet. When the sun rays that were warming her face disappear, Elizabeth slowly opens her eyes, and is shocked to find a man's face only inches from her own. Scared but defiant, she delivered a sharp set down and struggles to her feet. But when she realises who it is, and why he is there, she realises she owes him an apology.Over the next few days, their friendship blossoms, and Mr Darcy finds he is looking forward to their meeting more and more.Then, quite by accident, he learns that Mr William Collins intends to make Elizabeth an offer of marriage.Seeing his chance of happiness slipping away, Mr Darcy decides he must give Elizabeth an alternative bridegroom, namely, himself.But while Mr Darcy is in London seeking a special license from his uncle, the bishop, Elizabeth meets George Wickham.He is handsome and charming, and flatters all the ladies, but once he knows who Elizabeth is engaged to, he singles her out with one purpose in mind.He proceeds to regale her with his tales of woe, blaming Mr Darcy for all the ills that have befallen him.With no Mr Darcy to contradict Wickham's lies, Elizabeth is now desperate to break their engagement. But there is no going back for Mr Darcy. Elizabeth agreed to marry him and marry him she will.Is there any way they can be happy now Elizabeth is convinced Mr Darcy is not to be trusted? Can Mr Darcy convince Elizabeth that he is the one wronged by George Wickham? And what happens when Mr Wickham turns up at Pemberley late one night?
This is an alternative scenario to Jane Austen's original Pride & Prejudice story.I have included all the main characters, but their paths are very different in this variation.I have added a whirl more of excitement and a touch more love.Fitzwilliam Darcy, realising he can no longer ignore or suppress his feelings for Elizabeth Bennet, returns to Hertfordshire only one week after leaving.But even the best-laid plans can go awry, and their first encounter is disastrous, leaving Elizabeth with the same opinion of Mr Darcy as before.However, when invited to dine at Longbourn by her father, Darcy accepts, and then reluctantly confides in Mr Bennet the true depth of his love and admiration for Elizabeth.Having informed and assured Mr Bennet his intentions are strictly honourable, Mr Bennet agrees to let the young man approach his favourite daughter, confident that Elizabeth will refuse him.However, Mr Bennet has one stipulation, Mr Darcy has only one month, until Christmastide, to win Elizabeth's love, or lose her forever.Tentatively, Darcy begins to woo his beloved, Elizabeth.Then, just when everything seems to be progressing nicely, Caroline Bingley, George Wickham and Elizabeth's own sister, Lydia, to throw everything into jeopardy.Caroline's reckless actions force Darcy and Elizabeth, accompanied by, Mr Bennet, Mr Bingley and Georgiana to set off for London, where Darcy is determined to deal with his nemesis once and for all. Mr Darcy's Proposal uses UK English grammar, spelling and historical terms and phrases throughout.
