What if Mr. Darcy was more determined to have Elizabeth? No matter the price? What if Lydia's situation forced Elizabeth to accept his advances? Will Elizabeth's prejudice, anger, and hatred for Mr. Darcy persist . . . or will she realize that love is sometimes found in places she never expected it to be found? An alternate ending to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, currently my favorite book of all time. May change the rating later. Hope you enjoy!

Elizabeth Bennet refused Fitwilliam Darcy once, but in the face of his current offer she knows there is no hope such a rejection can happen now. With her father dead, Mr. Collins coming within the week to take Longbourn, and her dear sister's happiness at stake, Elizabeth must make a choice - a selfless one - that will leave her tied to cold, uptight, and taciturn Darcy . . . a man she knows to be incapable of true feelings or love, and surely the last man in the world she could ever wish to marry.
