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!All Rights Reserved

Having seriously believed that she was destined to become a spinster, Elizabeth Bennet finds herself married to one of the most eligible bachelors in Derbyshire. She now faces the daunting task of assuming her place within the vast and prestigious family estate of Pemberley.

She must navigate the isolation she feels as a stranger in this new setting and learn how to honour her new responsibilities while the lingering presence of her late mother-in-law, Lady Anne, to whom she is always compared, hangs over her. Thankfully, Elizabeth is resourceful. One day, she will triumph over even her harshest critics and prove herself worthy as mistress of Pemberley.

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

Disdain, Agony, Hope, and Love #Wattys2020 by anakinpadmeforlife

Pride and Prejudice from the eyes of Mr. Darcy. Love, affection, pain, and tons and tons of angst.

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

I am Caroline Bingley by AnamikaAcharjee

Retelling of the story pride and prejudice. " It is a truth universally acknowledged , that a girl in possession of too many pride and prejudice books , must end up in the book being a character she hates. " I love pride and prejudice, and read lots of retelling of that book and thought to write one myself. The character Caroline Bingley is not a favorite of most the readers... Including me. But I imagined what if someone ended up being Caroline of that book. Will they change her character ? Will something interesting happen from it ? , My character Lizzy hills loves to read pride and prejudice and she ended up in the novel being Caroline Bingley... What would happen next ? I will add few lines from the original text to have the fun of it , some scenes will be totally changed for the enjoyment. To know her exciting journey read my story ' I am Caroline Bingley', and if you like it than do vote and comment. Thank you 🍰♥.

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 🎃

Pride and Prejudice: An Amorous Retelling by quinkamp19

This adaption of the classic novel retells the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy as an amorous tale while attempting to still remain as true to the attitudes of the original characters as possible. In the same spirit as "Pride, Prejudice , and Zombies," this retelling includes most of the original material (in updated language), and it is interspersed with new conversations and scenes between Lizzy and Darcy. Meant for mature audiences. Note: This book is on the Kindle platform under the title "Interludes." Per Kindle's publishing limits, chapters 1-5 and 33 remain on Wattpad to read for free. The complete story is available for purchase for $2.99 or free for Kindle Unlimited subscribers.

Pride And Prejudice, The Sequel by orangecobra

I have just finished reading Pride and Prejudice for the 100th time, and I really wanted to see how Elizabeth and Darcy handle their married life, so I decided to write my own sequel. This is just to satisfy my own wild side, I have never been to Great Britain (but I would love to!), and I know very little of the 19th century traditions. *I appreciate all the corrections I get on the culture/timeline/location/language/plotline dearly and would do my best to fix my mistakes in the story. I only request that you put a smiley face emoji at the end of a correction 😀. It is not a requirement, but it would be highly appreciated.
