[Excerpt] Netherfield Prep
*Full story on Amazon and free in Kindle Unlimited* "It is a truth universally assumed that a stupidly rich boy must be in want of a girlfriend. It is a truth universally acknowledged that a girl who has just travelled half a world must be in want of a bed." From her first day at pompous boarding school Netherfield, fiery Australian Lily Brewer comes up against the arrogance of Austin Cooper. Austin and his twin Jax are the hottest guys in school. And the richest. It's quick wits and sass versus suave intelligence and abs, and they refuse to fall for each other. The rest of the school ignores Austin's behaviour for his pretty face and fat wallet. But, Lily can't get past his cold character even while her insults are enough to bring a smile to Austin's usually dour face. As Lily's roommate Anne is getting closer to Jax, Austin and Lily are always at each other's throats despite the sizzling chemistry that both of them deny simmering below the surface. Between an ardent proposal from her step-mother's simpering nephew, a dashing young fellow-Aussie from the Military College, the twins' scheming bitch of a cousin, Lily's embarrassing family, Austin's intended fiancΓ©e, the antics of the twins' best friend, the overbearing Lady Celia, and a whole lot of stubbornness, love seems off the dance card for everyone. Will pride and prejudice ruin them all? Or will love win the day? Get ready to spot all your favourite characters in this Young Adult modern reimagining of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, told in dual POV.Complete

Kiss With A Fist
RE-WRITING & FIXING ERRORS. βΛΰΏ Scarlett Johansson thought she had it all - a picture-perfect marriage, a thriving career, and a life built on control. That illusion shatters the moment she walks into a room and sees Isla Hughes, her husband's mysterious new colleague. Fuelled by heartbreak, rage, and one too many unanswered questions, Scarlett does what any betrayed woman might do. She punches her. Only... Isla didn't sleep with her husband. Isla isn't Colin's colleague. Isla has no interest in men at all. In fact, Isla is not the girl Scarlett should have punched. What begins as an explosive misunderstanding spirals into something neither of them saw coming - tension, apology, attraction, and an unravelling of truths far more complicated than infidelity. Because the real betrayal? Might not be what Scarlett thought it was. ---------- #1 in f1 24/08/25. #1 in jessicachastain 01/08/25. #1 in lesbian 07/08/25. #2 in gay 23/09/25. #2 in womanxwoman 11/08/25. #2 in scarlettjohansson 11/07/25. #2 in elizabetholsen 14/07/25. #3 in womensfiction 20/07/25.Complete
A Matter of Feeling - A Pride & Prejudice FanFic
In the rolling countryside of Hertfordshire, a new family from distant, wintry Estonia arrives-unconventional, mysterious, and quickly the subject of whispered curiosity among the English gentry. Miss Kiva MΓΆrk, quiet and keenly observant, is unlike any lady Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy has ever encountered. With a mind sharpened by solitude and a gaze that unnerves even the proudest gentleman, she stirs something unexpected in him-a reluctant fascination he cannot easily dismiss. As Mr. Bingley is drawn to the lively charm of Kiva's elder sister, the social world of balls, letters, and guarded glances begins to shift. Between cultures, class, and continents, affection does not bloom easily-but it burns slowly, and once ignited, refuses to fade. A reimagining of Pride and Prejudice told through foreign eyes and buried longing, Mr. Darcy and Miss MΓΆrk is a tale of restraint and revelation, where love must be earned, and every silence has its weight.Complete

Licorice & Ink | Mr. Darcy β
Ever since she could walk, Elodie Bennet had expectations set upon her, as many other women did. As the second eldest, she was meant to care for her younger sisters and fulfill her duties without complaint. Being one of the eldest also meant marrying a suitable man as soon as possible to secure her family's financial stability. However, the suitors in town, all of whom she had already met, were rather deficient in admirable qualities, leaving her options quite limited. After initially misjudging the character of a certain Mr. Darcy at a local dance, she finds herself intrigued and determined to uncover the true nature of the man who had captured her curiosity. - π ππππππππππ πππππ π± π ππ!ππ Fitzwilliam Darcy x Fem!OC πππππππ πππππππππππ #1 in mrdarcy #1 in prideandprejudice #1 in janeausten started 02.17.20 ended 08.14.24Complete
