  ‘The Diverse Lives of Fitzwilliam Darcy’
   is a series of quick-read novellas exploring what might happen if Elizabeth and Darcy had different backgrounds to that of the original book. Will their love shine as brightly as ever?
  The year is 1810. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Duke of Portland, doesn’t expect to find love, expecting to make a dutiful marriage in due course. He certainly doesn’t expect to fall for a penniless and hungry orphan on the streets of London.
  Elizabeth Bennet has no intention of becoming a burden to anyone. She has to trust herself — in her experience, no one else is trustworthy.
  Circumstances have driven her to desperation. However, a handsome aristocrat always seems to be there. But she knows his family will ensure she cannot be found. What’s going to happen to her?
  Darcy, the Duke is a sweet and clean Regency novella of 27,000 words.
