Compilation of the first 8 Pride & Prejudice Variations written by Zoe Burton.
Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwiliam Darcy have come together many times and in many ways over the years. In this box set, the couple faces numerous trials and vicious enemies as a couple.
I Promise To… In this ‘Pride and Prejudice’ novella, Elizabeth Bennet has known Fitzwilliam Darcy since both were very young. When she flees Longbourn and an unwanted suitor, her uncle and his father arrange a marriage between the two.
Promises Kept This novel follows Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth Darcy through the first year of their marriage. Not everyone is happy with the marriage, and trouble comes quickly upon them. Dealing with jealous ladies and scornful gentlemen in London as well as illness and injury at Pemberley, they grow together as a couple while Elizabeth regains the confidence she has lost.
Lilacs & Lavender: Elizabeth meets Darcy again in London, after learning Wickham’s true character. Their love secretly blossoms in Kent. However, not everyone is pleased when they decide to marry and trouble follows them, threatening to tear them apart.
Mr. Darcy’s Love: Elizabeth is injured shortly after hearing Darcy insult her at the Meryton Assembly, and loses her memories of the incident. Without her feelings of offence, their relationship starts out on a better footing, which in turn leads Elizabeth to react differently to those who would try to derail their happiness. This story contains a non-graphic attempted sexual assault scene.
Darcy’s Deal: Darcy and Elizabeth’s marriage is arranged by her godfather, a peer and political associate to Darcy’s uncle. Giving up their dreams of a love match, can these two strangers find happiness in a marriage of convenience? Or will others separate their fledgling bond before the marriage begins?
The Essence of Love: Darcy and Elizabeth meet through the machinations of her sister, Mary. They make an immediate connection, and when Darcy proposes, Elizabeth is eager to accept him. Two people from Darcy’s life are determined to step between the couple; Darcy puts them in their place and both go on their way, but one returns for revenge. When Elizabeth goes missing, Darcy tears the county apart looking for her. Will he find her in time, or will she be lost to him forever?
Decisions and Consequences: Elizabeth Bennet has received two proposals of marriage, neither of which she wishes to accept. However, refusing both is not an option.
Fitzwilliam Darcy finds Elizabeth’s pointed dislike of him refreshing in its honesty, but convincing a lady who dislikes you to marry you is going to take some work—and some scheming.
Matches Made at Netherfield: Though Fitzwilliam Darcy finds Elizabeth Bennet enchanting, he has no intention of making a match with her.
Elizabeth has even less desire to marry Darcy, for to her, he is no more than the slightly rude friend of her neighbor.
Forced to marry, can they alter their expectations or are they destined to live in misery?

Murder & Misjudgment: A Pride & Prejudice Variation Mystery Romance Series (Crime & Courtship Book 4) by Abbey North
A trip to London promises to be exciting as Lizzy tries to help Jane find a way to meet with Mr. Bingley. Her own experience is enlivened by meeting Lord Aumley, a handsome young viscount thrust into the world of Society unexpectedly. She wants to like Lord Aumley as more than a friend, but when she sees Darcy again, she accepts she cares more about the prideful man than she should. Her heart seems set on him, though her mind is still resisting the idea.
While making it clear to the young viscount she has no interest beyond friendship, a homicide crosses her path, followed by another soon after. When Darcy notices the victims bear an uncanny resemblance to Lizzy, he swears to protect her—even if it means keeping her under lock and key. Lizzy isn’t certain she’s even at risk, but she wants to find the murderer in their midst while perhaps seeing unexpected changes in Darcy that lead her to contemplate his previous proposal with renewed attention.
This is part four of the “Crime & Courtship” series, which will be five books, intended to be read in order, and follow roughly the same timeline and location as J.A.’s masterpiece. The first mystery takes place in Meryton. The next will be at Netherfield, followed by Hunsford, then London, and finally Pemberley. The story arc will continue throughout all five parts, compromising one long read broken into five sections. A mystery is central to each installment, so you could call this a cozy mystery sweet Regency romance.

As she has recently suffered mistreatment at the hands of a former acquaintance of Mr. Darcy’s, Georgiana is eager to stay at her brother’s side.

The Brazen Mr. Darcy by Julia Biscayne

Her fine eyes and pert opinions send him reeling. She is unlike any woman he has ever known.
He must have her – at any cost.

Matching Mr. Darcy: A Darcy and Elizabeth Variation (Sweet Possibilities Book 1) by Leenie Brown
He might not want to dance with her, but Darcy’s about to meet his match.
Some people adapt easily to new surroundings and find delight in meeting new people. Fitzwilliam Darcy is not one of them. Being put on display in a room full of strangers is enough to make him quite disagreeable. Therefore, when he attends the Meryton Assembly and his patience is pushed beyond what he can tolerate, Darcy replies harshly to his gregarious friend’s insistence that he asks Miss Elizabeth Bennet to dance.
Unfortunately for her, Elizabeth is within hearing distance of Darcy’s refusal. Insulted and more than a little vexed, she is determined to have as little to do with him as she can and to push him towards his amiable friend’s sister when being in one another’s presence cannot be avoided.
When Elizabeth calls Darcy out for his offensive words and intimates that he is ungentlemanly, he is more intrigued than provoked. He is also determined to prove the lady wrong and sets a course to do just that.
While Darcy seeks opportunities to prove to Elizabeth that he is indeed a gentleman, Elizabeth attempts to be rid of him until his company becomes more desirable than that of a long-time friend and hopeful, though very unwanted, suitor.
Jealousy is never pretty, and a spurned suitor is not always kind or wise. When secrets are revealed and explanations are wanting, it looks as if the burgeoning love between Elizabeth and Darcy is destined to be snuffed out almost before it has begun.
Unless, of course, a meddling matchmaker can pull off a well-timed miracle.
Matching Mr. Darcy is the first book in a new collection of Darcy and Elizabeth variations from Leenie Brown called Sweet Possibilities. If you like Hallmark-style romances set in the Regency era, then you’ll enjoy this story where love triumphs over a poor first impression, injured pride, and a jealous lover.
So, settle into your favourite reading spot, grab your copy of Matching Mr. Darcy, and indulge in the sweet romantic possibility of a refused introduction leading to happily ever after.

Ladies of the House: A Modern Retelling of Sense and Sensibility by Lauren Edmonson
A DAZZLING NOVEL THAT PUTS A MODERN SPIN ON JANE AUSTEN’S CLASSIC SENSE AND SENSIBILITY
No surprise is a good surprise. At least according to thirty-four-year-old Daisy Richardson, a woman of routine, order and careful thought. So when it’s revealed in dramatic fashion that her esteemed father had been involved in a public scandal before his untimely death, Daisy’s life becomes complicated—and fast.
For one, the Richardsons must now sell the family home in Georgetown they can no longer afford, and Daisy’s mother is holding on with an iron grip to this last vestige of their former life. Her younger sister, Wallis, is ready to move on to bigger and better things but falls fast and hard for the most inconvenient person possible, someone Daisy can’t bring herself to trust. And then there’s Atlas, Daisy’s best friend. She’s always wished they could be more, but now he’s writing an exposé on the one subject she’s been desperate to avoid: her father.
Daisy’s plan is to maintain a low profile as she works to keep her family intact amid social exile, public shaming and quickly dwindling savings. But the spotlight always seems to find the Richardsons, and when another twist in the scandal comes to light, Daisy must confront the consequences of her continued silence and summon the courage to stand up and accept the power of her own voice.

Sometimes the past has the power to ruin the future, and the echoes of previous mistakes can destroy lives. The Sole Love unveils a long-forgotten event that endangers the Bennet family.

Their journey to a peaceful solution wends its way from London to Pemberley and gives the couple a chance to reflect on their own difficulties. Will Elizabeth find in her heart the love she has long denied, and will Darcy—confronted with an unexpected answer to his second proposal—ever acknowledge that his heart, as well as Pemberley, has found its mistress? Can pride and prejudice be set aside as Jane Austen’s beloved characters struggle to discover love and happiness?
Kellynch: Dragon Persuasion (Jane Austen’s Dragons Book 6) by Maria Grace
Special Pre-order Price!
Keeping a hibernating dragon should have been a simple thing.
Should have been, but it was not. Apparently, nothing involving dragons was ever simple, at least not for Anne Elliot, junior Keeper to dragon Kellynch.
With the estate in debt, Anne’s father in denial, and the dragon’s treasure missing, Kellynch’s awakening is shaping up to be nothing short of catastrophe. Not to mention, there was the pesky matter of her own broken heart and resentment against the old friend who had caused it.
Captain Fredrick Wentworth had spent his life making something of himself in the Navy. With the war that kept him employed at an end and a small fortune in prize money, he found himself beached and at loose ends. What was he to do with himself now—take a wife like Laconia, his dragon Friend, insisted? Not when none compared to the woman who had broken his heart.
Working as an agent of the Blue Order, managing dragon matters across England, seemed a much better alternative. At least until investigating one such matter sent him directly in the path of Anne Elliot, the woman who had ruined him for all others.
Now a royal dragon rages, a sleeping dragon lurks, and too many treasures have gone missing. Can Anne and Wentworth lay aside resentment, pride, and heartbreak to prevent Kellynch’s awakening from ending in bloodshed—or worse?
Jane Austen meets Pern in a fantastical regency romp bound to delight readers of Jane Austen and Anne McCaffrey alike.
Book 6 in the Jane Austen’s Dragons series.
The Heiress: The Revelations of Anne de Bourgh (A Pride and Prejudice Novel) by Molly Greeley
In this gorgeously written and spellbinding historical novel based on Pride and Prejudice, the author of The Clergyman’s Wife combines the knowing eye of Jane Austen with the eroticism and Gothic intrigue of Sarah Waters to reimagine the life of the mysterious Anne de Bourgh.
As a fussy baby, Anne de Bourgh’s doctor prescribed laudanum to quiet her, and now the young woman must take the opium-heavy tincture every day. Growing up sheltered and confined, removed from sunshine and fresh air, the pale and overly slender Anne grew up with few companions except her cousins, including Fitzwilliam Darcy. Throughout their childhoods, it was understood that Darcy and Anne would marry and combine their vast estates of Pemberley and Rosings. But Darcy does not love Anne or want her.
After her father dies unexpectedly, leaving her his vast fortune, Anne has a moment of clarity: what if her life of fragility and illness isn’t truly real? What if she could free herself from the medicine that clouds her sharp mind and leaves her body weak and lethargic? Might there be a better life without the medicine she has been told she cannot live without?
In a frenzy of desperation, Anne discards her laudanum and flees to the London home of her cousin, Colonel John Fitzwilliam, who helps her through her painful recovery. Yet once she returns to health, new challenges await. Shy and utterly inexperienced, the wealthy heiress must forge a new identity for herself, learning to navigate a “season” in society and the complexities of love and passion. The once wan, passive Anne gives way to a braver woman with a keen edge—leading to a powerful reckoning with the domineering mother determined to control Anne’s fortune . . . and her life.
An extraordinary tale of one woman’s liberation, The Heiress reveals both the darkness and light in Austen’s world, with wit, sensuality, and a deeply compassionate understanding of the human heart.
Unintended: A Pride and Prejudice Accident by Alix James
What if… the person who caught you in your most embarrassing moment is also the one your heart was meant to find?
It was never supposed to happen. Elizabeth Bennet never planned to get trapped in a ridiculous situation, and she certainly never intended for the person who found her to be a dizzyingly handsome… tall… and odiously haughty man who seems to regret ever meeting her. The only thing to do, naturally, is to tease him about it, and try not to let him under her skin.
Fitzwilliam Darcy wishes he could erase that whole morning–especially the part where he laid bare his… well, it is hardly worth repeating. For a surety, he would rather forget about the temptingly pert lady who had borne witness to his blunder. The only trouble is, he keeps being thrown into company with her. Every encounter brings a new brush with calamity, and he is beginning to wonder if he will survive their acquaintance.
When Lady Catherine asks Darcy to pay her respects to a Mrs. Ashton, an elderly neighbor in Meryton, he discovers a friend where he least expected it. But is Mrs. Ashton who he thinks she is? And what is he to do when the very woman he is trying to forget has entirely the wrong impression of him? He would ignore her, but she keeps wandering into his path with comically unlucky results. And when the rest of his family becomes suspicious about the reasons for his sister Georgiana’s low spirits, the best way to protect her reputation is to bring her to Netherfield—into the vicinity of George Wickham, the man who broke her heart.
Darcy must find a way to keep his wits about him, keep his sister’s reputation safe, and keep Elizabeth Bennet from becoming something she was never supposed to be… his intended.
From the author of Indisposed, Unintended is a clean and sweet Regency variation of approximately 20,000 words.
Locked at the Netherfield Ball by Layla Johnson
Locked in the Netherfield library is one of the most popular scenarios in JAFF. This novella, however, comes with a surprise regarding the characters who fell victim to a broken doorknob.
The Netherfield Ball turned to be more a reason for distress than enjoyment for Elizabeth. Desperate and ashamed, she watched her family making a spectacle of themselves under Mr. Darcy and Bingley sisters’ contemptuous gazes, until she could not bear it any more. Struggling for a moment of peace and tranquillity, she hid in the solitude of the library. While leaning on an armchair in a corner of the dark room, two men entered, arguing. Before Elizabeth had time to make her presence known, the confrontation turned more violent in words and tone, revealing deep secrets that should have been kept hidden.
When one of the men attempted to leave and end the fight, his temper betrayed him and he pulled the doorknob so hard that it broke it.
Suddenly, Elizabeth found herself blocked in the library with Mr. Darcy and Mr. Wickham – only moments after she had discovered that her judgement about the two men had been utterly wrong.
With no place to hide and no mean to escape, the three of them had no other choice but to face each other, the truth and their own flaws.
How long will their ordeal last and how will that happenstance influence their lives are questions to which the readers will find answers in these clean, romantic, low angst novella of approximately 30 K words.
Jane Austen: Writing, Society, Politics by Tom Keymer
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. So runs one of the most famous opening lines in English literature. Setting the scene in Pride and Prejudice, it deftly introduces the novel’s core themes of marriage, money, and social convention, themes that continue to resonate with readers over 200 years later.
Jane Austen wrote six of the best-loved novels in the English language, as well as a smaller corpus of unpublished works. Her books pioneered new techniques for representing voices, minds, and hearts in narrative prose, and, despite some accusations of a blinkered domestic and romantic focus, they represent the world of their characters with unsparing clarity. Here, Tom Keymer explores the major themes throughout Austen’s novels, setting them in the literary, social, and political backgrounds
from which they emerge, and showing how they engage with social tensions in an era dominated by the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. The Jane Austen who emerges is a writer shaped by the literary experiments and socio-political debates of her time, increasingly drawn to a fundamentally
conservative vision of social harmony, yet forever complicating this vision through her disruptive ironies and satirical energy.
Mr. Darcy’s Hunted Bride (Power of Darcy’s Love Book 3) by Violet King
Escaped. Pursued. Betrayed?
Elizabeth may have escaped Lord Braithwaite and married her true love, but neither she nor Mr. Darcy are safe. As Lord Braithwaite destroys evidence and kills witnesses, false friends plot to destroy Mr. and Mrs. Darcy’s happiness. And Mr. Darcy is not without his own secrets. As enemies gather, can Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy capture Lord Braithwaite before he does away with Elizabeth, the one woman who can see him punished for his crimes?
Find out in Mr. Darcy’s Hunted Bride, Book 3 of 4 of the Power of Darcy’s Love series. Mr. Darcy’s Hunted Bride is a sweet and suspenseful romance of 30,000 words where love truly does conquer all.

The way the characters grew and changed through the story was delightful. It took our beloved story and took it one a wonderful new twist that was a pleasure to read. – Melanie Schertz, Author of JAFF Stories

Wasted Words: Inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma (The Austens Book 1) by Staci Hart
Some universal truths refuse to be ignored.
Peanut butter and jelly are a match made in heaven. Spaghetti and meatballs are best friends forever. And guys like Tyler Knight don’t go for girls like Cam Emerson.
She knew from the second she met him that he didn’t belong on her bookshelf, the six-foot-six ex-tight end with a face so all-American, it could have sold apple pie. So she shelved him next to the supermodels and rock stars and took her place on her own shelf — the one with the flannel-clad, pasty-faced comic book nerds. Most of her boyfriends have existed between the pages of books, but rather than worrying over her own lacking love life, she puts all her energy into playing Cupid, using her job at the book bar, Wasted Words, as her stomping ground.
Tyler Knight always looks on the bright side. His career-ending injury turned into a job as a sports agent. A horrible breakup led him to Cam, his quirky, smart roommate who is far more beautiful than she realizes. She’s made it perfectly clear she’s not interested in him — not like that at least — but if she ever changes her mind, he won’t hesitate. Because he doesn’t see the lines she’s drawn between them, as much as she insists that they’re there. Deep down he knows that despite their differences, they’re a match well made.
*A standalone romantic comedy inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma*
