Excerpt from my Work In Progress: Fortune and Felicity -1

It’s been a while, but I’m back again, ready to share my current WIP, Fortune and Felicity. For some reason, this novel took longer to write. Every time I thought I knew where it was going, it would take me in a different direction, which involved endless rewrites of earlier chapters. I’m done with the draft, though, so hopefully, there aren’t going to be any more surprises!
Fortune and Felicity is a Pride & Prejudice what-if variation, and it picks up just after Darcy’s disasterous proposal to Elizabeth at Hunsford. I’ll be posting chapters here on Jane Austen Variations while I work on edits. I’m looking to publish sometime towards the end of March, so keep checking the blog for updates.
So here it is. Enjoy! 
Mr. Darcy spent the night battling his demons, urging them to come under his control.
