Mr Darcy's Abducted Bride: A Variation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (The Gentleman Mr Darcy)

ON THE DAY AFTER MR BINGLEY’S BALL at Netherfield Park, Fitzwilliam Darcy is determined to leave Hertfordshire and put the delightfully beguiling Elizabeth Bennet out of his mind. As he is preparing to leave, however, he hears some horrifying news. Mr Collins, it seems, intends to make Elizabeth an offer of marriage. Mrs Bennet—panicked by Mr Bennet’s illness—will stop at nothing to ensure that her obstinate, headstrong girl accepts it and becomes Mrs Collins as soon as is possible.

RUSHING TO LONGBOURN, Darcy finds that Mrs Bennet has contrived to make Elizabeth out of her wits while she and Mr Collins plan for an immediate wedding. Recognising that Elizabeth will find herself bound to a ridiculous man for life, Darcy acts a hero, rescuing her and removing her from harm, intending to keep her away from the dastardly duo until she has regained her wits.

DAZED AND CONFUSED BY THE STRANGE GOINGS-ON at Longbourn, Elizabeth finds herself thrust into a terrifying journey alone with Mr Darcy. Mr Collins and her mother will stop at nothing to see their plans carried to fruition, and Mr Darcy is her only chance of salvation. Can she learn to trust him quickly enough to discern which of the choices before her will lead to happiness?

Mr Darcy’s Abducted Bride is a novella-length Pride and Prejudice vagary.
