Darcy and... A Pride and Prejudice Variations Collection
Description
Take five different paths to happily ever after with Darcy and his friends.
In this collection of five Pride and Prejudice inspired books by Leenie Brown, love will be put to the test. But whether insults, danger, or foolish actions threaten, true love will not be thwarted. For love will conquer all when given a chance.
Oxford Cottage
Elizabeth Bennet expects to complete the challenge her father has set before her at Oxford Cottage. What she does not expect is to meet a handsome stranger and fall in love, nor does she expect to find herself in a situation where she will have to keep both herself and her young companion safe.
For Peace of Mind
When Elizabeth Bennet is sent to London to stay with her relatives, Fitzwilliam Darcy is the last person she expects or wants to see. On advice from her aunt, she agrees to give the gentleman a second chance at making a first impression. However, just as their relationship begins to blossom, danger threatens. Action, intended to separate them, instead provokes declarations of love. Now on the path to matrimony, a new adversary creates a seemingly impossible choice, testing the strength of their bonds.
Listen to Your Heart
When Anne de Bourgh finds some hidden papers, her view of the future changes in light of her father's wishes. However, her declaration to follow her heart and choose her own future causes discord and forces secrets to be revealed. Sometimes the path to happily ever after can be strewn with danger and intrigue.
Through Every Storm
A gambler, a profligate and forcibly married to the silly daughter of a country gentleman, no one expected George Wickham to amount to much, nor did they expect him to fall deeply in love with his wife. When Lydia takes an unplanned trip in the company of another gentleman, leaving Wickham and her children behind, he will be forced to face his fears and fight for those he holds dear.
With the Colonel's Help
Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam had only meant to improve Miss Elizabeth's opinion of his cousins, but, instead of lending aid, he inadvertently makes things worse. There is, of course, only one thing to do. He must confess his error to his cousin, for when a gentleman of honour creates a problem, he must see the trouble resolved. It is, therefore, under the watchful eye of the colonel that Darcy and Elizabeth begin down a path of greater understanding until fate and relations intervene, creating a situation bordering on impossible.

More details
Person
Leenie Brown has always been a girl with an active imagination, which, while growing up, was a both an asset, providing many hours of fun as she played out stories, and a liability, when her older sister and aunt would tell her frightening tales. At one time, they had her convinced Dracula lived in the trunk at the end of the bed she slept in when visiting her grandparents!
Although it has been years since she cowered in her bed in her grandparents' basement, she still has an imagination which occasionally runs away with her, and she feeds it now as she did then ─ by reading!
Her heroes, when growing up, were authors, and the worlds they painted with words were (and still are) her favourite playgrounds! She was that child, under the covers with the flashlight, reading until the wee hours of the morning…and pretending not to be tired the next day so her mother wouldn't find out.
In addition to feeding her imagination, she also exercises it ─ by writing. While writing has been an activity she has dabbled in over the years, it blossomed into a full-fledged obsession when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. Leenie had first fallen in love with Jane Austen's work in her early teens when she was captivated by the tale of a girl, who like her, was the second born of five daughters. Now, as an adult, she spends much time in the regency world, playing with the characters from her favourite Jane Austen novels and a few that are of her own creation.
When she is not traipsing down a trail in an attempt to keep up with her imagination, Leenie resides in the beautiful province of Nova Scotia with her two sons and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with a healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tilney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).
