I finally have my newest book live out in the world. It was a long road, and there were glitches along the way, but my new book baby has published. 🙂
At the bottom of this post will be a link to a giveaway, but let me tell you a little about the story before I explain that.
- The story takes place a year earlier than canon. This means everyone is a year younger, and Mr. Collins is still in college. We won’t see him at all, and when Mrs. Bennet refers to the heir presumptive, she’s talking about Collins’ father.
- Wickham is dealt with before the story begins. What he does with Georgiana is different, and his “punishment” is different, as well.
- Bennet has a serious health issue.
- Lady Catherine and Caroline Bingley both play a part. So, I have at least half of JAFF’s usual villains in this book. LOL
Here is the blurb for the story:
His duty tells him no, but his heart screams yes.
Fitzwilliam Darcy has always done his duty, and he arrives in Hertfordshire to support his friend, not knowing that he would soon be questioning everything he held dear.
Elizabeth Bennet is immediately drawn to the friend of her future brother-in-law, but a match between them seems hopeless when he appears to dislike her entire family.
Despite his efforts to remain aloof, the more Darcy learns about Elizabeth, the more intrigued he is. Will he be able to overcome his drive to do his duty, or will he walk away from the woman he loves?

I love receiving your newsletter! The cover is very well done and the excert quite drew me in!
Congratulations on your latest D&E story, Zoe! This is definitely different from the other P&P variations. The premise sounds captivating but I’m worried about Mr Bennet. Hope he turns out well.
Thanks! Best wishes in the drawing! 🙂
I am always very thankful to authors who are so generous as to give away copies of their labors of love. I thank you so much for being one of those many authors that does this.

Thanks for the giveaway. Nice to know Wickham is out of the picture and Collins is not available to be his annoying self – Darcy and Lizzie can create their own misunderstandings without their help.
