An omnibus of novels by Lory Lilian
Author’s Note - Warning! This is a collection of three individual books previously published separately. For those who have purchased the books, this collection brings no new content, only the enjoyment of being read together at an excellent price. All three books in this collection are recommended for a general audience, except one specific chapter in the third story (Chapter 28 in "To the Advantage of Both"), which contains mature scenes and may be omitted if readers so prefer.
The collection will be available for a limited amount of time and contains three best-selling stories, at the price of a novella. Also available in Kindle Unlimited.
The books in this collection are:
Every Savage Can Dance - recommended for readers of all ages. It will reveal Elizabeth and Darcy slowly falling in love with each other and taking care of each other in a shared endeavour to solve difficult problems.
The story begins in line with canon, with Mr Wickham’s arrival in Meryton. Unlike canon, though, Mr Wickham’s new employment in the regiment proves to be part of an elaborate plot that involves other characters and causes significant consequences.
Honour, Decorum & Prudence: this romantic, witty story, recommended for readers of all ages. What if there was a previous connection between Mr Bennet and the Darcy family through Mr Darcy’s uncle, the widower Lord Matlock?
Towards the end of November, a week before the Netherfield ball, three gentlemen arrive in Hertfordshire to disrupt the peace and to alter Darcy’s plans: Mr Collins, a cousin of Mr Bennet’s who is visiting Longbourn; George Wickham, a former acquaintance who is joining the militia regiment encamped nearby; and Lord Matlock, the brother of Mr Darcy’s late mother.
What nobody in Meryton knows is that Lord Matlock has a previous acquaintance with Mr Bennet, and the two were friends in their youth.
‘To the Advantage of Both’is a romantic Regency Pride and Prejudice variation, most of it recommended for readers of all ages. Chapter 28 contains a romantic and rather steamy description of the marriage consummation, but this part can be skipped by readers who prefer it without altering the quality of the story.
While taking one of her usual solitary walks between Meryton and Netherfield, Elizabeth meets a gentleman who seems lost, and she directs him to Netherfield — his stated destination. The unexpected guest is Admiral Thomas Andrew Pembroke, who is Lady Matlock’s brother as well as an old friend of the Darcys.
The admiral is outspoken, a great friend and protector of Darcy but also his severest critic. He is a good judge of character and he immediately approves of Elizabeth and Jane and befriends Mr Bennet.
During the Netherfield ball, some distressing circumstances occur, leading to gossip that could affect their names and reputations.
Elizabeth and Darcy must make a decision that will affect their lives forever.
Admiral Pembroke is a supportive and affectionate friend to both, but he has his own past — a painful one, full of regrets and sorrow — a past closely connected to the Darcys.
When that past is brought into the present by malicious interference, Darcy will find himself in danger of losing everything he has ever known, loved, and cherished his entire life.
Genre: Young Adult Fiction
