📮 7 Pride and Prejudice Variations by Lory Lilian (.ePUB)

Lory Lilian is a Romanian who has been in love with Pride and Prejudice for more than four decades and became trapped in the Austenesque world in 2004 when she discovered Pride and Prejudice variations. She never managed to free herself from the trap — nor did she want to. After being an avid reader for several months, her growing passion for this new genre pushed her to take a tentative step into writing. Lory wrote her first book, ‘Rainy Days’, in 2004, and to this day it remains one of the most read and loved Pride and Prejudice variations. Prior to becoming a full-time writer, Lory’s career switched from the medical field to business, HR, and training, until 2018, when she decided to dedicate her entire time to writing Austenesque books. After Rainy Days, she published twenty more best-selling titles, her newest release being out this month. She has at least twenty more stories waiting to be finished and published. A proud mother of a fabulous daughter, Lory is also an animal lover; she likes the sea, the beach and everything related to Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice.

1. Remembrance of the Past

1. Remembrance of the Past In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet unexpectedly met Mr. Darcy while visiting Pemberley. In this 'what if' story, Elizabeth Bennet and her relatives - Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner - are in London, ready to start their tour to the Lakes in June. During this time, Elizabeth's path crosses with Mr. Darcy's again. However, Mr. Darcy is not alone in London: besides his close family - Georgiana and Colonel Fitzwilliam - an old and dear friend has returned and claimed a well-deserved place in their lives. This is a story about hopes and desires, about losses and fears, about second chances and happiness. This book is recommended for a mature audience ONLY. It contains numerous descriptive, intimate scenes, but not graphic or vulgar! There are also several references (although mostly implied or just mentioned, not detailed) to a man's attack over a woman, that might affect some readers.

2. Rainy Days

2. Rainy Days In Jane Austen’s novel, Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet’s first impression and hasty judgment of Mr. Darcy and that gentleman’s pride and aloofness toward her loved ones take them on a long and difficult road to happiness. In “Rainy Days”, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are caught in a rainstorm two days before the Netherfield ball, and they are forced to spend a few hours alone together where they talk, listen, and better understand each other’s feelings. However, even when original pride and prejudices are overcome, new obstacles arise. The road to true love is never smooth, and surprises along the way enhance the passion of the journey. For more than fifteen years, "Rainy Days" has been one of the most widely read and best-loved of the “Pride and Prejudice” variations. It was one of the very first books that placed Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy in a cottage, where they had begun a passionate journey filled with love, passion, angst, humour, twists—and more love.

3. The Painting

3. The Painting The disastrous proposal at Hunsford has left both Darcy and Elizabeth in great turmoil. Back at Longbourn, Elizabeth tries to overcome her guilt and remorse for believing Wickham so readily and accusing Darcy so unfairly, whilst eagerly anticipating her journey to the North with her aunt and uncle Gardiner. When their travel plans are delayed, Mrs. Gardiner invites the rest of the Bennet girls—since Lydia has already been invited by Mrs. Forster—to spend a fortnight in Brighton with her and her children, as they wait for Mr. Gardiner to complete his business. At Pemberley, Darcy struggles to overcome his heartbreak and to forgive himself for his ungentlemanlike behaviour towards Elizabeth. Properly humbled and devastated by the loss of the only woman he has ever loved, his suffering intensifies with the anniversary of his beloved mother’s death. His heart—still bleeding after Elizabeth’s rejection—is broken into pieces when he uncovers a secret hidden behind an old painting. The discovery leads Darcy to Brighton, searching for clues to his mother’s past, accompanied by his loyal friend, Charles Bingley. There, only a few houses away, they find the women who have never been far from their thoughts. By the sea, tormented by old and new memories and trying to understand the power of their feelings, Elizabeth and Darcy cross paths again and slowly become re-acquainted with each other and with themselves, until their love finds its long-deserved fulfilment. The reconciliation of Bingley and Jane, as well as Lydia and Wickham’s situation, also slowly unfolds together with the discovery of Lady Anne’s past, intricately woven around the love story of Darcy and Elizabeth.

4. No Expectation of Pleasure

4. No Expectation of Pleasure The story begins before Jane is invited to dine at Netherfield and falls ill. By that time, Mr. Darcy — a man of the world, master of his own fortune and of his own feelings and actions — is already smitten with Miss Elizabeth Bennet, the young woman he had called tolerable and refused to dance with. As the days pass, charmed by her pretty eyes and sparkling wit, he discovers that she is handsome enough to tempt him, more so than any other woman before. He is determined to keep his distance from her and he manages to do so even during her stay at Netherfield, as she cares for her sister, Jane. That is until one cold, rainy day, three days prior to the Netherfield Ball when Elizabeth and Darcy are forced to spend some time alone in a cabin in the wood. With no expectation of pleasure, Elizabeth forces herself to bear the arrogant man’s company with enough civility while he struggles with his own desires and temptations, as well as with her low opinion of him. The distance from arguments to a better understanding, from pride and prejudice to friendship, towards a “happily ever after”, can be easier and faster to travel when the two of them are trapped together. Can’t it?

5. Pemberley Heat

5. Pemberley Heat Still tormented by the astonishing marriage proposal from Mr Darcy at Hunsford and repentant for her harsh and unfair accusations that accompanied her cold rejection, Elizabeth is travelling with her uncle and aunt towards the Lakes in the summer of 1812. On their journey, they stop in Derbyshire, at Lambton, the small village where Mrs Gardiner grew up. At that lady’s insistence, one hot day in late July, they visit Pemberley, a place which sparks in Elizabeth many painful memories and vivid remorse. The beauty of Pemberley, as well as all the information that reveals Mr Darcy’s true nature and generous character, inflicts yet more anguish on Elizabeth. Taking a short private walk to cool down and soothe her anxiety, she shockingly happens upon the object of her disquietude — as she has never seen him before. Fitzwilliam Darcy has suffered months of misery and sorrow discovering that his love for Elizabeth Bennet is not welcomed, shared, or even accepted. He returns to Pemberley, one day prior to his sister and friends, to temper his anger, alleviate his grief, and ease his pain. Anxious to hide from the heat of the sun and from the burning inside him, he dives into his pond with his eyes closed. When he opens them, he finds that the dream that has tortured him for months is in front of him, and this time she is real – equally as improperly attired, wet, and dirty as he is. And so it begins — several heated days at Pemberley which will change their lives.

6. Honour, Decorum & Prudence

6. Honour, Decorum & Prudence What if there was a previous connection between Mr Bennet and the Darcy family through Mr Darcy’s uncle, the widower Lord Matlock? Fitzwilliam Darcy has always been a man of self-control who has always tried to keep his weaknesses under good regulation. His main concern in life is the care of his sister and his duty towards Pemberley, his family’s legacy, and his name. Part of this duty is to find a wife — someone to fulfil the responsibilities attached to the name of Mrs Darcy — the most difficult of all his tasks. His beliefs and principles are called into question when he joins his friend Mr Bingley in Hertfordshire and meets a young woman with a quick mind, unrestrained manners, a strong character, and a pair of the most beautiful eyes in a pretty face. A woman who enchants and charms him as nobody else ever has — especially when she spends a few days at Netherfield, nursing her sister — and attracts him so strongly. Towards the end of November, a week before the Netherfield ball, three gentlemen arrive in Hertfordshire to disrupt the peace and to alter Darcy’s plans: Mr Collins, a cousin of Mr Bennet’s who is visiting Longbourn; George Wickham, a former acquaintance who is joining the militia regiment encamped nearby; and Lord Matlock, the brother of Mr Darcy’s late mother. Several years after losing his wife, Lord Matlock is enjoying life to the fullest and is determined that his too-serious nephew Fitzwilliam Darcy do the same. What nobody in Meryton knows is that Lord Matlock has a previous acquaintance with Mr Bennet, and the two were friends in their youth. Furthermore, there is a dramatic secret that has bound the two former friends through the decades, which, once revealed, could significantly harm Lord Matlock’s family. The unexpected reunion between Mr Bennet and Lord Matlock will bring some disruption to the people of Meryton, Longbourn, and Netherfield and will change the course of events as we know it from canon. Will this change be for the better or worse? Will Mr Bingley and Jane’s and Mr Darcy and Elizabeth’s journeys towards happiness be shorter or longer than those we already know?

7. Every Savage Can Dance

7. Every Savage Can Dance Every Savage Can Dance is a romantic story of Elizabeth and Darcy, recommended for readers of all ages. It contains moderate angst, fast pacing, many unexpected turns of events, and some changes in several characters. It will reveal Elizabeth and Darcy slowly falling in love with each other and taking care of each other in a shared endeavour to solve difficult problems. Twists that appear along the road will induce them to act in ways a little bit out of character and out of decorum — which hopefully will please readers and put a smile on their faces. The story begins in line with canon, with Mr Wickham’s arrival in Meryton. Unlike canon, though, Mr Wickham’s new employment in the regiment proves to be part of an elaborate plot that involves other characters and causes significant consequences. Darcy decides to warn Mr Bennet and Colonel Forster about his nemesis’s true nature, but he is only partly believed. His life is put in danger, and he is found injured by Elizabeth and Mrs Bennet and taken to Longbourn. Fear for his health also brings Miss Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam to Hertfordshire, allowing the two families opportunities to mingle. Darcy’s road to recovery is sprinkled with sweet interactions with Elizabeth, as well as with struggles to solve an enigma and thwart a conspiracy. The Netherfield ball plays an important role in the story, though not in the way we are accustomed to. And Mr Darcy will admit not only that he is deeply in love with Elizabeth and that she is his perfect match, but also that he adores dancing with her, on any occasion, even though he once called her tolerable and claimed every savage can dance.
