Why has Darcy distanced himself from Elizabeth? She demands her husband confide in her...or risk the happiness of their union. The months following the birth of their first child should have been joyous, but something is wrong with Lizzy's marriage. Has his affection for her changed...has he taken a mistress? His coldness places Elizabeth in danger, the exact opposite of the outcome he desired. Darcy must rectify his mistake before his secret fear harms the lady he values above all others. Her Husband's Affection is the first passionate short story in the After the Wedding Series vignettes reimagining what may have happened with Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth at Pemberley after they married. These stories will not necessarily be told in chronological order or even feature the exact same Darcy & Elizabeth. Each short will include a tastefully written steamy sensual scene which enhances the exploration of marital intimacy between ODC. The author will make sweet versions available on her website. Variation #2 in this series will be Her Husband's Gift, a holiday novella of approx. 15K. If you crave tales depicting the passion, angst, and temper of ODC as they navigate tumultuous but loving marriage, you will enjoy the After the Wedding shorts.

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 didn't need distractions, she was just attempting to make it through college with good enough grades to get accepted into med school. But she hadn't counted on the antics of her haphazard family and the disapproving attentions of Mr. Darcy.

The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London.
