    Darcy, and that gentleman's pride and aloofness toward her loved ones took them on a long, difficult road to happiness. In "Rainy Days," Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are caught in a rainstorm two days before the Netherfield ball, and they are forced to spend a few hours alone together where they talk, listen, and better understand each other's feelings. However, even when original pride and prejudice are overcome, new obstacles arise. The road to true love is never smooth, and surprises along the way enhance the passion of the journey. Rainy Days - an alternative journey from Pride and Prejudice to passion and love.

    This variation looks at what might have happened, had those events gone differently, and, as the title suggests, what the reason behind some of the changes might have been. Could Jane turn down Mr Collins? What if Wickham had proposed to Elizabeth before she knew his character? And could anyone resist Colonel Fitzwilliam, had he been in possession of a good fortune? This story follows the original, more or less, and does not contain any material of an explicit adult nature.

    Recommended for those who enjoy a hard to put down and very unique “what if.” “This book was AMAZING!! I read it in two days, I could not put it down. It is one of the BEST variations that I have ever read.” “I really enjoyed this book. It has a very creative and captivating storyline that is unique, new and interesting characters, and lots of clean romance. It's also very well written.” ***** When Elizabeth travels to Brighton with Harriet Forster in lieu of visiting Derbyshire, she does not expect to befriend a mysterious widow. Nor does she expect her cordial treatment by Mr. Wickham to be replaced by expressions of malice. And the greatest enigma of all is the sudden appearance of Mr. Darcy in Brighton. How could Elizabeth's simple vacation have become so complicated so quickly? Read A Summer in Brighton to find out! ***** “Come now, Mr. Wickham. Surely your memory cannot be that deficient. You must recall that during the three months complete before my departure, you were rarely seen at Longbourn—or at any other gathering in Meryton, for that matter—and I only saw you once a few days before I left for Kent.” “P-please,” stuttered she as she looked up, “my apolo—” She cut off in surprise, using every ounce of effort to keep her jaw from dropping. “Mr. Darcy!” “Miss Bennet, you should remember that I am a desperate man with little to lose. Had it not been for you and your bewitching ways and pert opinions, I would have been long gone from this place ere now, but to my detriment, something always kept me back. It was you—you and your damnable belief in that arrogant . . . I somehow could not convince myself to leave you be, much though I wished to do so.” For a unique Pride and Prejudice variation, try A Summer in Brighton.
