2nd Edition, now thoroughly revised and edited. This thrilling new 'Pride and Prejudice' variation will take you far beyond the events of Jane Austen's novel, hurling Mr Darcy and Miss Elizabeth into a dramatic adventure neither could ever have imagined. After his unfortunate marriage proposal, Darcy writes Elizabeth a letter and, in his attempt to hand it to her, everything changes - both of them are kidnapped. In just a few days, Elizabeth finds herself floundering in fear, loneliness and despair, facing a terrible future at the hands of heartless mercenaries, while Darcy, injured, is left behind. Determined to save the lady who holds his heart, Darcy embarks on an uncertain journey to rescue Elizabeth. Together with his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, he discovers the power of love, friendship and trust, which goes beyond any familial connection. In this romantic, dramatic adventure, involving sea travels, mercenary pirates and bloody fights able to determine life or death, Darcy and Elizabeth come to realise that they must never let hope die. Hope, faith and their mutual love are all they have to keep them alive. Until their last breath.EXTRACTRichard was now very curious about how Darcy had managed to bear the journey from London to Portsmouth in his present condition. Darcy chuckled at his enquiries. "Richard, you know me well enough to guess I could not stay back when so much is at stake; when Elizabeth's life is in such danger." He looked around and all eyes were on him. He became serious again. "They say that love and hate are the two most powerful forces to move a man. I can guarantee you all, I have plenty of both."ABOUT THE AUTHORRose Lorimer loves literature, mainly historical and romantic ones. Her interest in Pride and Prejudice began many years ago when she was newly wedded. Today, after reading hundreds of variations and other historical romances, she is doing English and History at university and taking her career seriously as a writer."And for that, I am happy to have the invaluable contribution of Regina McCaughey-Silvia as my copyeditor. Regina has been editing some of our favourite P&P variations in the last years. I want to thank all the readers who gave themselves the trouble to write their reviews, and hope that now that I have an excellent copyeditor all the grammar and spelling mistakes will be a thing of the past, and the readers, from now on, can fully enjoy my works, as I am already working on another story.
