Once Upon a Compromise: A Pride & Prejudice Variation

Fitzwilliam Darcy has always prided himself on his impeccable propriety. So when he finds himself repeatedly trapped in compromising situations with the spirited Elizabeth Bennet, he braces himself for the inevitable: a forced marriage to a woman from a family he deems beneath him.

Except... the demands never come.

With each new scandalous circumstance, Darcy finds himself increasingly bewildered—and increasingly captivated by the one woman in England whose family seems determined not to secure him as a son-in-law. As misunderstandings clear and truths emerge about Elizabeth and her family, Darcy makes a startling discovery: he wishes they would insist on a match.

Now the man who avoided being trapped must attempt something far more daunting: winning Elizabeth's heart on merit alone. But after initially dismissing her, can his awkward attempts at courtship convince her his feelings are genuine?

In this charming twist on Jane Austen’s beloved classic, Darcy must overcome his pride to win the heart of the one woman who won't be caught by anything less than true love.
