So when a strange man claiming to possess the power to bend time offers her one wish, how can she resist?
Follow Elise as she journeys back 200 years, where she struggles to find a place in society, faces the newfound hardships of being female in such an era, but also as she forms friendships she thought she'd never have, and finds a romance worthy of Austen's novels themselves.

From Pemberley to Manhattan [COMPLETED]
People are never ready for the impossible. When Mr. Darcy discovered a trespasser in his lands, he imagined the young man to simply be a lost drunk from the village. Never would he have guessed that the man was a brilliant scientist. And the first time traveler in History. Let alone would Mr. Darcy suppose that he himself would become the second man to ever travel through time. Yet, he did. Mr. Darcy accidentally ended up in the twenty-first century. At first, he desired nothing but to return to his beloved Pemberley. However, as he discovers the magical powers of technology and makes the strangest - yet kindest - friends, he wonders if, when the time comes, he will have the strength to return to when he belongs. Especially now, that he would have to leave behind a lovely lady who enchanted him. A lady with a lot of personality and mesmerizing green eyes.
