The Princess Problem: A Pride and Prejudice Variation (The Rom Com Collection
.jpg)
He doesn’t believe in fairy tales. She’s living one she can’t escape.
Elizabeth Bennet has always known her father was a prince, she simply never expected it to matter. Living quietly in Hertfordshire with her mother’s family, her royal blood seems irrelevant. But just after her eighteenth birthday, an envoy from the Thurnian court arrives with an invitation: her grandfather the king wishes to welcome her into the royal family.
Miles away in Derbyshire, Fitzwilliam Darcy faces pressure of his own. His uncle the earl wants him to reclaim a title stripped from his family hundreds of years ago. Having both family and friends who are members of the aristocracy, Darcy knows firsthand that such a life holds no appeal for a man who values his independence.
When a winter storm strands them together at a remote inn, the last thing Darcy expects is to encounter a young woman claiming to be a Thurnian princess. Because he knows Thurnia has no princesses, he is certain she’s lying. Yet as their uneasy journey continues and the behaviour of her chaperone grows increasingly odd, Darcy begins to suspect that the deception hides more than a fanciful tale, and that uncovering the truth may actually be dangerous.
What begins as a chance encounter in a snowbound inn becomes a journey where treachery reveals a nobility no title could ever bestow.

The Slipper Scandal: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
Are they a fling—or a thing?
William Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet have been dating for three months—the thrilling, awkward stage where every milestone feels momentous. And now comes the biggest test yet: their first Christmas together.
Elizabeth just wants the holiday to go right. And it will. That is, if she can survive the Bennet sisters’ group chat, keep her golden retriever Waffles from eating the decorations, and figure out how to knit a gift for the man who has everything.
Darcy just wants to show Elizabeth he’s the right man for her. But between his judgmental Great Dane, his nagging worry that he’s more ‘bah humbug’ than holiday cheer, and the stress of finding a meaningful present, he worries one misstep could sink him.
The Slipper Scandal: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
.jpg)
One masquerade. One misplaced slipper. One very unexpected betrothal.
When Elizabeth Bennet dons the mask of Athena at a glittering Twelfth Night masquerade, she expects only an evening of diversion—not disaster. But after a misadventure involving a determined rake, a lost shoe, and a most inconvenient encounter in the garden, she finds herself at the centre of London’s latest scandal.
Fitzwilliam Darcy prides himself on propriety. But when he spots a lady in distress at a ball and gallantly steps in to help, he doesn’t rescue her from trouble—he walks straight into it with her. One country maiden, a moonlight encounter, and a slipper in the wrong hands is all it takes: the ton believes them engaged—or worse. Now entangled with the quick-witted, sharp-tongued Miss Elizabeth Bennet, his carefully ordered, predictable world begins to unravel.
Darcy is prepared to do what honour demands. Elizabeth, however, is prepared to do anything to escape the engagement—including leveraging her intellect, wit, and every ounce of stubborn determination she possesses. Unfortunately for her, Mr. Darcy is equally resolved not to let society destroy their reputations—or to let her go.
Sometimes it takes a masquerade to reveal the truth, a lost slipper to find your footing, and a forced engagement to discover a love worth fighting for.
The Briar Bargain: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
She never wanted a fairy tale prince—but he showed up anyway.
Nursing her sister at Netherfield should have been Elizabeth Bennet’s only concern. Instead, she must endure Mr. Darcy’s intense scrutiny and Miss Bingley’s pointed barbs. And after relentless rain turns the road home into a river, Elizabeth is forced to make a daring rescue. Now she’s sick, stranded, and at the mercy of Mr. Darcy’s unsettling concern.
Fitzwilliam Darcy lives his life by the rules: stay composed, stay detached, and never, ever fall for a woman outside his sphere. But Elizabeth Bennet, with her mud-streaked hem, sharp tongue, and fearless heart, unravels him.
As Miss Bingley’s schemes grow increasingly desperate, Elizabeth insists on returning to Longbourn—even if it means walking ten miles through treacherous conditions. Alarmed, Darcy offers her a truce: stay until she’s well, and he’ll shield her from every insult.
As Elizabeth discovers that accepting help can be its own kind of strength, and Darcy learns that yielding doesn’t make him weak, another kind of tempest begins to gather—one neither of them expected.
Sometimes love means standing firm in the storm. And sometimes, it means surrendering.

Mr. Darcy and the Enchanted Library: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
When Fitzwilliam Darcy's sister lies dying from a magical ailment, the only person who can help is Elizabeth Bennet, the powerful Librarian of the Great Library – the same woman he abandoned five years earlier.
Elizabeth can't forget Darcy's refusal to believe in her magical ability, even now that she has a griffin familiar. However, as the Librarian, duty compels her to help him. Together, they undertake a quest to the Faerie Realm to find a cure, encountering dangerous magical creatures along the way.
An even greater danger lurks in their own hearts. After their heartbreak five years earlier, can they stop themselves from falling in love all over again? And what will happen when they discover that Georgiana Darcy's illness is intertwined with a danger that threatens all of England?
Mr. Darcy and the Enchanted Library began as an interactive group writing project. In response to enthusiastic readers, the authors have revised and expanded this second chance, forced proximity romantasy based on Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice.
Her Whole Heart: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
Sometimes the real folly is falling in love.
Fitzwilliam Darcy is prepared for the usual argument when he arrives at his aunt's estate in Kent—the one about Lady Catherine’s poorly built, badly situated folly. What he is not prepared for is to learn that Miss Elizabeth Bennet is currently residing at the parsonage across the lane.
The woman he fled Hertfordshire to forget is still pretty, witty, and poor, not at all the sort of woman his family would approve of as his wife. But when Darcy's warnings prove his foresight in a dramatic fashion, neither will leave Kent entirely unscathed.
Elizabeth Bennet has not forgotten the man whose cold judgment once stung her pride and destroyed her sister’s hopes. In Kent, Mr. Darcy is still exasperating, but he is also unexpectedly kind. As circumstance forces them into an uneasy proximity, Elizabeth begins to wonder whether her feelings are truly as unyielding as she believed.
Once the dust settles, can they turn disaster into a chance at romance? Or will the real ruin be the walls they've built around their hearts?
Drawing Mr. Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Duology
The two Drawing Mr. Darcy books are now together in one collection!
Book One: When Thomas Bennet's childless aunt and uncle ask that one of his five daughters come to live with them, he knows which girl would most benefit. Years later, Elizabeth Bennet Russell returns to Longbourn having had an unconventional upbringing. She is in possession of an important name, a good fortune, and an artist's eye.
Drawing helps Elizabeth to literally sketch people’s character, and she’s become rather good at it. But she’s about to face her greatest challenge yet. Netherfield Park is let at last, and her good friend's much older brother--whom she has yet to meet--has arrived as a guest. It will take Elizabeth more than a drawing to help her understand the confounding Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy.
Book Two: For the first time, drawing someone’s portrait has not been enough to understand his character. Although Elizabeth Bennet Russell has sketched Mr. Darcy’s expressions often and with great care, she still cannot figure him out—that is, until he confesses that he has fallen in love with her.
By the time Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy share a dance at the Netherfield Ball, they are well on their way to marriage. Then her cousin, the Marquess of Tavistock, arrives from London with news: Elizabeth’s Aunt Olivia is seriously ill, and there’s been a threat against both Russell women. Will the Russells close ranks, leaving Darcy out in the cold?
Her Whole Heart: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
.jpg)
He can have Pemberley or his honour—but not both.
When Fitzwilliam Darcy uncovers a long-buried family secret in his grandfather’s journal, everything he thought he knew about his inheritance is thrown into question. If Mr. Thomas Bennet indeed has a claim to Pemberley, Darcy’s estate may fall into the hands of a man who barely tends his own.
Determined to uncover the truth, Darcy returns to Hertfordshire in search of answers only to find himself increasingly captivated by Miss Elizabeth Bennet. But how can he court her while guarding a secret that could upend both their lives? If he remains silent, he deceives the woman he longs to win. If he speaks, he risks losing Pemberley—and her good opinion along with it.
The more he learns about the Bennets, however, the more he realizes that he may not know them—any of them—as well as he believed. There are whispers of past sorrows, of obligations quietly fulfilled, and of bonds that run deeper than blood.
As Darcy navigates duty, honour, and a most inconvenient attraction, one truth becomes clear: the past refuses to stay buried, and the future may hold possibilities he never anticipated.
The Christmas Heiress
One fortune, two hearts, and a Christmas to remember. . .
Elizabeth Bennet’s life is forever changed when she inherits Hollydale House from a family friend. But the bequest comes with a surprising condition—Elizabeth must become a secret benefactor, using her newfound wealth to spread Christmas cheer among those in need.
The unexpected riches thrill her mother, who is overjoyed at the thought that her family will never want for comfort again. But just as Elizabeth settles into her role as mistress, mysterious thefts threaten the tranquility of her new home. Fortunately, her new neighbour, clever, steady Mr. Darcy is willing to assist. Yet this leads to another complication: as they work together, Elizabeth finds herself increasingly drawn to him—and she cannot be sure if he shares her growing affection.
With the clock ticking toward Christmas, Elizabeth must navigate family expectations, a lurking thief, and her own growing feelings for Mr. Darcy. Will everything come together for a joyful holiday, or will the season’s magic slip away before her very eyes?

Mr. Darcy's Christmas Letters: A Pride and Prejudice Novella
He loves her. She might love him back. All they need is a second chance.

With Longbourn so close and so much time to think, Darcy realizes that he has never truly apologized to Elizabeth. So he does what he always does when his emotions run high.
He writes a letter.
Elizabeth Bennet hasn’t been able to stop thinking about Mr. Darcy since he last left Hertfordshire. All she has left of him is a letter she has read nearly to pieces, the memory of three promising summer days in Derbyshire, and many unresolved feelings. So she takes a page out of Mr. Darcy’s book.
She writes a letter.
Interwoven: A Magical Pride and Prejudice Variation
England’s best mages are called to Pemberley in their youth. Elizabeth can’t understand why she’s always left behind.
Not only does her father neglect to correct what must be an oversight, he won’t allow her to use her most powerful magic at all. Each year, he further restricts Elizabeth’s movements. She can no longer wander beyond Longbourn’s boundaries, and he locks her chamber door at night with magical charms.
She allows her father to believe that his efforts are enough to keep her home. But when first her elder sister and then her youngest sister are called, Elizabeth is finished pretending. On the last day of the fifth moon, she defies his father’s edicts by following her sisters through the portal to Pemberley.
Not everyone is pleased to see her.
Since the attack five years ago that left Fitzwilliam Darcy in charge of hundreds of young mages, he and his cousin have been keeping a dangerous secret. The last thing he needs to add to his crushing number of responsibilities is training an uninvited mage—even a pretty, intelligent one—whose magic is unusual and unpredictable. The portal is closed, however, so he cannot send her back.
He is not an easy master. She is not a compliant pupil. Still, Elizabeth is determined to find her place at Pemberley, something Darcy admires. Her talents are a puzzle, though, and her strength often falters. Perhaps there was a reason she was never called.
Yet Darcy has no choice but to continue working with Elizabeth. For the secret he’s been keeping is beginning to unravel, and Elizabeth’s unique magic may be the only way to keep Pemberley from unravelling with it.

Elizabeth Bennet has grown up as a general’s daughter, not a pampered country miss. Though her family has lived as gentry for several years, a part of her still longs for the freedoms her former life afforded.
Despite his insulting speech and gruff manners, Elizabeth suspects that the clever, handsome Mr. Darcy is as anxious to find his place in the world as she. Yet she must be reasonable. With his wealth and family connections to the peerage, Mr. Darcy would never consider her.
When trouble comes to Longbourn, can Darcy and Elizabeth conquer their reservations and fight this battle--together?
"Original, sigh-worthy, and laugh-out-loud funny! Darcy gets his feathers trimmed a bit and Elizabeth learns how far she will go for true love. Our dear couple shine as never before in this magical twist on their timeless romance."
