A Gentleman's Pursuit
(2026)(A book in the Pride & Prejudice Variation series)
A novel by Amy D'Orazio
You surely cannot think I seek to entrap you into matrimony if I do not even know your name.
While in Hertfordshire, Fitzwilliam Darcy finds himself accidentally trapped in a storage room at a local inn with a fine-eyed young lady who immediately beguiles him. He can see by her dress that she, too, does not belong in Meryton and wishes to know her more…but alas she refuses to tell him her name or anything about herself.
The Bennet ladies have been left in dire straits following Mr Bennet’s death. Thus when Elizabeth is offered employment, she accepts. A paid friend to a young heiress, Miss Anne de Bourgh—which comes with three rules. She cannot tell anyone she's paid to be there; she cannot seek her own husband in London; and most of all she is forbidden to talk to a man called Mr Darcy.
Alas the more Elizabeth moves in London society, the more it seems apparent that the infuriating stranger from Meryton and the forbidden Mr Darcy are one and the same. Alas for as much as she wishes to rebuff him, it seems he refuses to be rebuffed and before she can help herself, she finds herself falling in love with him.
Darcy is delighted every time he chances to meet the enchanting miss in London but increasingly frustrated that she will not reveal her identity to him. With every successive meeting, his frustration grows, as does his attraction and soon he finds himself willing to do absolutely anything to have her—even if it means swallowing his pride.
A Gentleman's Pursuit is a Pride & Prejudice variation featuring a locked-in meet, hidden identities, forbidden attraction, and a hero who will not be deterred, even when everyone around him insists he ought to be.
Genre: Historical Romance
