Β Remember The Past by Maria Grace

In which the author experiments with all things unconventional–except for the happily-ever-after. That’s a must!

I don’t know when I’ve been so thoroughly entertained. ~Amazon Review (KindleLover)

Widowed with two sons and master of Pemberley, Darcy has no interested in a new wifeβ€”until a scandal-plagued Bennet family arrives in Derbyshire and Elizabeth makes him question everything he thought he wanted.

Admiral Thomas Bennet had expected his retirement from His Majesty’s Navy to bring peace and prosperity to his family. Their entry into society should have been a triumph. Instead, one disastrous London season leaves the Bennets with little choice but to retreat to the wilds of Derbyshire.

There they encounter Fitzwilliam Darcy, widower, father, and master of Pemberley, who wants for nothingβ€”except perhaps, a little peace.

From the moment the Bennets arrive in Derbyshire, Darcy’s neatly ordered life turns upside down. His sons beg to keep company with their new playmates, the young Bennet twins. His mother-in-law sets her cap for Admiral Bennet. Worst of all, Darcy cannot get his mind off a certain spirited and bewitching Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

Elizabeth, however, has sworn never to let another gentleman near her heart.

Darcy’s attempts to help the Bennet family go horribly awry, alienating first Miss Elizabeth, then her father, and finally endangering what both men hold most dear.

Can two stubborn men set aside their pride long enough to prevent catastrophe for their families? And if they do, will it help Darcy convince one very determined Elizabeth Bennet that love is worth remembering?

It’s Always Been Us by L.L. Diamond

Jena Barrett loves her perfect life. She has the best job in the world, a great place to live, and a best friend that she adores. The only hiccup is this wedding planner’s love life! However, when her sister Ellie suggests a remedy for Jena’s lack of significant other, the notion is so insane, it flips Jena’s universe off-kilter. Brandon has always been the steady fixture in Jena’s life, her best friend. Even when he joined the Army out of high school, they never lost touch, picking up as though he never left the moment he returned. Now a local veterinarian, Brandon is the perfect man candy with his successful career, amazing personality, and a face and body no woman would kick out of bedβ€”only he never dates. Not that she’s ever questioned why, at least not until now. Could Ellie be right? Could he possibly be in love with her? If so, could Jena ever love him in the same way? The risk is huge. If everything blows up in her face, she could lose her best friend. But what if the train wreck doesn’t happen? What if Brandon is her missing piece, her happy ever after?

What if you had a second chance to make a first impression?

When Elizabeth Bennet suffers an unexpected accident while visiting her friend Charlotte Collins in Kent, she wakes to a world subtlyβ€”yet profoundlyβ€”altered. Friendships, family ties, and first encounters are no longer as she remembers: Mr Darcy is a stranger she meets for the first time at Rosings, Jane’s circumstances have taken an unexpected turn, and a mysterious locket hints at a future she cannot fully comprehend.

As Elizabeth struggles to reconcile memories that refuse to align, she is drawn into a world both familiar and strange, where every exchange with Mr Darcy offers new insight into the man she once thought she understood. Yet each revelation brings the disquieting awareness that her former life is slipping away. And the harder she clings to her fading recollections, the more swiftly they recede.

Caught between two realities, Elizabeth must discover which truths to trustβ€”and whether love can endure across the fragile boundaries of time.

Some Little AlterationΒ is a spellbindingΒ Pride and PrejudiceΒ variation, perfect for readers who enjoy stories that blend mystery, romance, and the enduring power of love.

Mysterious Mr. Darcy by Monica Fairview

What if nobody knew Mr. Darcy was in possession of a fortune?

When Mr. Darcy appears at the Meryton Assembly, no one knows who he is. As a man haunted by an event in his past, he prefers to stay out of the public eye. He certainly doesn’t need someone like Miss Bennet asking questions. Fortunately, he is more than equal to the task of putting her off.

Elizabeth is drawn to the mysterious Mr. Darcy who stays in the shadows. She is intrigued by him, and tries to draw him out, but Mr. Darcy resists, knowing he cannot reveal the truth to her.Β 

When Mr. Darcy succeeds only too well in driving her away, he begins to realize that what he really wants to do is open his heart to her.

But Elizabeth has become Mr. Bingley’s latest angel, and it might already be too late.Β 

In this Pride and Prejudice variation, Mr. Darcy must confront his past in order to break free and fight for his chance to love.Β
