Cover for The Unromantic Mr. Darcy

💘 A Valentine’s Day Pride and Prejudice Variation: Who knew the master of Pemberley could be so adorably awful at romance? 💘 When Elizabeth Bennet catches Mr. Darcy criticizing her romantic book choices at the Meryton bookshop, she dismisses him as hopelessly unromantic. But after a toy arrow knocks him into her arms at a Valentine’s Day ball, something shifts. Now, the master of Pemberley is determined to prove he can be romantic—even if he hasn’t the faintest idea how. What follows is a comedy of errors as the logical Mr. Darcy attempts increasingly dramatic gestures to prove his love for Elizabeth: midnight serenades in the rain, elaborate treasure hunts at Pemberley, and poetry that would make Shakespeare cringe. When Elizabeth’s father shatters what he believes is a farce, Darcy is forced to confront his deepest fears while Elizabeth must face a startling truth: the most unromantic man in England might just have written himself into her heart. But with their pride in pieces and a mysterious book of love poems holding secrets in Pemberley’s library, can these two stubborn souls find their way back to each other? * * * This enchanting Pride and Prejudice variation proves that true romance isn’t found in practice or pretense—it’s found in a heart brave enough to risk everything for love. With Jane Austen’s signature wit and an extra helping of yearning, this love story might well tempt Lady Catherine to reenter the marriage mart herself. * * * Historical liberties concerning Valentine’s traditions were taken.

Cover for Mr. Darcy's Twin

Two identical faces. Two entirely different hearts. One impossible choice. When Elizabeth Bennet meets the handsome but reserved Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy at a local assembly, she’s prepared to dismiss him as merely another proud member of the gentry.

While the brothers share the same striking features, their personalities couldn’t be more different. Lieutenant James pursues Elizabeth with open admiration and easy charm, drawing her into a whirlwind of attention that flatters and intrigues. Meanwhile, the enigmatic Mr. Darcy watches from a distance, his disapproval seemingly evident in every glance. But as Elizabeth finds herself caught between the twin’s competing attentions, she begins to wonder if first impressions might prove dangerously misleading. Is James’s charisma truly as sincere as it appears? And could there be depths to the solemn Mr. Darcy that she has yet to discover? In this captivating Pride and Prejudice variation, Elizabeth must navigate the complexities of her own heart while unraveling the mystery of two men who share a face but perhaps not a destiny. For in matters of love, sometimes the most difficult choice lies between what dazzles us at first sight—and what slowly captures our heart forever.
