Yours: A Variation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (Romantic Pride and Prejudice Variations)

Two years after walking away from Mr. Darcy with a broken heart, Elizabeth Bennet encounters him again at a winter ball. Tragedy and scandal have forced her family from Longbourn to quiet obscurity in Yorkshire. Still grieving her father's death and reeling from her youngest sister's disgrace, Elizabeth has no intention of marrying—particularly not a man who views women as ornaments. When reunited with Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth confronts old regrets and new possibilities. He is no longer the proud, aloof stranger she once rejected, but a man whose quiet strength and steadfast love may be what she needs. Darcy never stopped searching for the woman who changed him, and seeing her again—wiser and wounded—he hopes for a second chance. Family pride, painful secrets, and the threat of renewed scandal threaten to keep them apart. Set in a house filled with eccentric nobility and meddling relatives, this novella-length variation explores whether Elizabeth and Darcy can find their way back to each other. It is a low angst, second chance, friends to lovers romance.
