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?

Sold #2 - A Desperate Love by ElaineWhite

When Darcy is woken in the early hours of the morning, she doesn't expect to be told that she's going to be given over to a rich man as a play toy. However, when she meets sad, lonely, Haruto Kiyoshi, she realizes that she hasn't been bought and sold as she thought, but given a second chance at life, by someone who only wants to save her, help her and love her. Can she accept that, or will her past come back to haunt her and ruin the new happiness she has found? ** Apologies in advance for the state this is in.

P&P by gabigailuh95

A modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice. After graduating high school, Lizzie Bennet is looking forward to doing nothing but reading book after book and drinking copious amounts of tea. But when the mansion at Netherfield Park is bought by the wealthy Charles Bingley, her summer plans are thwarted completely by her insane family. Twenty dollars from her mother is more than enough incentive for Lizzie to investigate (stalk) Netherfield Park's newest owner to see if he's good enough to date one of the Bennet girls. But Charles Bingley isn't the only one moving in - his beautiful, charming-but-catty sister Caroline and his not-so-charming best friend William Darcy are joining him for the summer as well. It's the same story we all know and love retold in our time. I hope you enjoy it!

Unlike in Jane Austen's original novel Mr Wickham decides that he will attend the ball at Netherfield Park. Over confident, and enjoying Darcy's unease at his presence, Wickham gets carried away with his drink. He takes his flirting with Elizabeth Bennet entirely too far and his actions have far reaching consequences, changing the normal course of our Pride and Prejudice story. As Elizabeth is forced to reassess her judgements of the two men from Derbyshire, will our couple still find their happily ever after? How far are Wickham, Miss Bingley and Lady Catherine willing to go to stop them? **Warning this story contains a scene involving assault**

What Nobody Knew by DangerouslyLace

"Elizabeth, we have more stores to get to, so if you please.'" Came Mr. Knight's impatient voice from the other side of the door. I still wasn't used to him calling me by my first name, but since he used it this morning, he hasn't gone back to the previous "Miss Bennet". I sighed before stepping out of the dressing room. "Sir, I'm not so sure about this one..." I trailed off, while giving a slight twirl so he could see the whole dress. When I looked up, Mr. Knight's eyes were roaming over every inch of my form. I could feel the heat rushing towards my face and a funny tingling feeling settling in my stomach. Why did he have to look at me like that? It was almost like he wanted to... No, this was Mr. Knight, he wouldn't be looking at me like that... and I was most definitely not excited at the mere thought of it. No, in fact, I was uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that I wished I had something to cover myself up with. But, it seemed that I forgot how to operate my legs and was now glued to the spot. Mr. Knight cleared his throat, looking away from me and avoiding eye contact al together. "Uhm, yes... I think you might be right. Let's try another one." He pulled out his phone and started scrolling through it. That was strange. Was Mr. Knight actually uncomfortable? ... This is a Pride and Prejudice retelling where Mr. Darcy is a rich CEO and Elizabeth his over-qualified PA. May contain some mature scenes. Highest Rankings: #1 Prejudice #2 Pride and Prejudice

She is forced to keep her affection for Mr Darcy a secret, though, when his part in Jane's unhappiness becomes known. Lizzy's loyalty is torn between her family and the man she loves...

Through the Lens of a Letter by ElizabethFrerichs

PREVIEW ONLY Something crinkled by her foot. Elizabeth reached down and picked it up. A rapid scan revealed it was a letter from Fitzwilliam Darcy to the second daughter in a family of Bennets. Too bad she'd never even heard of a Mr. Darcy. Fate sends Darcy's letter to Elizabeth nine months early, before Bingley arrives. COMPLETE. D&E HEA. On Amazon

Matters of Chance by hannahcpop

Elizabeth Bennet is a 23 year old environmental journalist still living with her parents. She has a steady plan to get out of the sleepy city of Meryton and gain her independence. However, when rich and eligible bachelor Charles Bingley moves into the Netherfield apartment downtown and makes a move on Lizzie's sister, her world gets spun around. Her sister gets a new boyfriend in the form of Charles Bingley, while Elizabeth gets a new enemy in the form of Charles' best friend, Darcy. Pompous car company CEO Darcy and Elizabeth seem like natural born enemies, but with a series of run-ins and misunderstandings, it seems as if the two of them are a little more similar than they'd like to admit. 🌱🌿🌱 Matters of Chance is a retelling of Jane Austen's classic romance Pride and Prejudice. It takes place on the American west coast. It features an Asian-American Bennet family living in a small city outside of Seattle. It has very similar plot points to the original, but adapted to a modern setting. However, I don't think you need to have read Pride & Prejudice to read this! The characters are written so that you can do without it. Here's a link to my aesthetic board to get a feel for the characters! https://pin.it/w8qkJa7\ [50,000 - 60,000 words] #1 in prideandprejudice 6/13/2020 ✨ #15 in Romance 10/27/2020 🎃
