An Error of Fancy: A Pride & Prejudice Variation (Happily Ever After with Mr Darcy Series)

It feels like the end of all I have ever known. ELIZABETH BENNET DOES NOT EXPECT on a fine April morning in the gardens of Rosings Park, to have her entire world utterly destroyed by a letter. But Jane’s few desperate lines change everything, and when Mr Darcy comes upon her pale and trembling in the Hunsford parsonage later that evening, Elizabeth must choose between her pride and the only man who can help her most beloved sister.

JANE IS IN LONDON, DESPERATELY FACING not only her own ruination but that of her entire family, Elizabeth included. The only solution is to find Mr Bingley—who has forgotten her very existence—and make him marry her. And the only person who can do that is Mr Darcy whom Elizabeth has spent the last six months despising.

THROWN TOGETHER WITH A COMMON GOAL a peculiar sort of courtship ensues: a carriage journey through a spring dawn; brandy at Gracechurch Street; a walk through Cheapside with the world at its worst; a duel threatened and a proverbial dragon, against all odds, slain. Darcy offers Elizabeth everything—his name, his protection, and his love—and she, who does not yet love him, must decide whether her overwhelming gratitude can become something greater.

But beneath the crisis that brought them together lies a secret neither of them knows. And when the truth emerges on what should be the happiest day of both Darcy’s and Elizabeth’s lives, they will discover that the foundation of their marriage is not what they thought it was.
