Reconciled to Mr Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Variation (Sweet Standalone Pride and Prejudice Variations)

Elizabeth must marry a total stranger…a stranger named Mr Darcy!

On a pleasant summer day at Pemberley, Fitzwilliam Darcy gets the worst news of his life: George Wickham has eloped with Georgiana Darcy and married her over the anvil in Scotland! Torn between fear for Georgiana's fate, anger at her actions, and guilt for failing her, Mr Darcy hopes that a trip to Charles Bingley's rented estate in Hertfordshire will clear his mind. But matters soon go from bad to worse when an accidental compromise leaves Darcy forced to choose between marrying a total stranger, or being as much a villain as Wickham.

Elizabeth Bennet wants nothing more than to marry for love...but to save her sisters from ruin, she will marry for reputation instead. With no other choice before her, she will be the best Mrs Darcy she can be…and to Elizabeth’s profound relief, Mr Darcy proves equally ready to make the best of their strange situation.

Admiration and trust soon begin to grow between the Darcys, even as their marriage remains unconsummated by so much as a kiss. But Pemberley is full of secrets, and Elizabeth's well-meaning attempts to reunite the Darcy siblings will have consequences no one could have predicted…

Reconciled to Mr Darcy is Beatrice Langford’s answer to the question of what a “forced to marry” story might look like if Mr Darcy didn’t blame Elizabeth for their compromise. Readers can expect Lady Catherine offering advice ranging from good to hilariously misguided, Elizabeth winning over everyone at Pemberley, and a particularly villainous Mr Wickham. Please note that this work explores the growing love and desire between Elizabeth and Mr Darcy, but does not contain any explicit content or “open door” love scenes.
