Why am I being sent down?” The woman scowled at Elizabeth. “They want you to speak to the gentleman.” She had no intention of seeing Sir Clement again. But Elizabeth had grown ugly and wild looking. Maybe her appearance — or smell — would put him off. Or she could scratch him with her fingernails. Elizabeth selected the dirtiest dress. The one she had spilled barely warm soup over after the windows had been boarded up. Elizabeth stumbled down the stairs. She was led to the study. She tensed her arms with anticipation. She would claw Sir Clement. They had trapped her in a dark room, but she was not beaten. She touched Georgiana’s letters for reassurance. A tall, thin gentleman stood next to the desk. He stared at her with a powerful intensity. He was deeply tanned and a large scar dominated the left side of his face. It extended from the bottom of his ear into the edge of his hairline. Elizabeth’s hand would barely cover it. Half his eyebrow was missing. It was a pity, for otherwise he had a very handsome face. Then he said in a strained voice, “Lizzy.” Her eyes widened. It was Fitzwilliam. Like the missing pieces of a puzzle falling into place, she recognized him, though he was ten pounds lighter and there was some change that went far deeper than his face. She impulsively threw her arms around him. He staggered and held her close. “Fitzwilliam, Fitzwilliam. Oh. Oh. You are here. Here. At last. I’ve been waiting for you.” “My ship only came this morning.” There was a smile in his familiar strange voice. He kissed her on the forehead. “I am here.” “You came to rescue me? I can’t, I can’t, I can’t. I can’t go back in there. No. No. No—” “Shhh. It will be well. You won’t. I swear.” He awkwardly brushed his hand over her cheek, wiping away her tears. “You don’t have to return.” “How?” He didn’t quite meet her eyes. “Your mother…agreed to let me marry you. W-would you be willing?” She stared at him in surprise. This must be the only way for her to escape, and Fitzwilliam Darcy was sacrificing himself to marry a girl he’d not seen for five years, and who had become shockingly ugly in that room. Though she felt guilty, she tightened her arms around him, “Yes. Yes. Oh, yes.” Binge for days and days on these ten standalone Pride and Prejudice Variations (a total of 890,000 words) full of tears, laughter, drama, and witty banter. What readers are saying: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"His Elizabeth is very witty and vivacious and his Darcy is always a proud ass but loveable." - Goodreads Reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"Sometimes I find Darcy's character in Mr. Underwood's books infuriating; I guess it is because, as a man, the author is more versed in men's psychology, and therefore his descriptions are more to the point. This is why I keep going back to his books." - Amazon Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"I can't express how much I enjoy reading the main characters converse with one another. Dialogue is a beautiful thing, and being able to go along for the ride as Darcy and Elizabeth navigate, and build on their relationship is a plus." - Goodreads Reviewer How it Works: Once you purchase, the books will be delivered to the email address you provide via BookFunnel.

Her husband must have returned. Elizabeth rehearsed a final time how she would grovel; he enjoyed it when she begged on her knees. Elizabeth had created a list of things she would intensely hate. Mr. Collins was fair. If she was sufficiently punished he would not do anything to hurt her family. Elizabeth’s pulse pounded as she walked to the door. Mrs. Hill stood there, her countenance grave. “What—what is it!” Elizabeth cried. The housekeeper searched Elizabeth’s face. “Mr. Collins is dead.” The body lay on the parlor couch, the head tilted at a grotesque angle which showed his broken neck. The skin was chalky white in the flickering candlelight. Elizabeth’s stomach heaved and she clapped her hand over her mouth. His fat, toad-like face looked unusually ugly. He was the way he should have been born: Dead. Elizabeth touched the frozen forehead. It was real. Relief flooded Elizabeth. She felt weak in her knees and couldn’t stop her smile as she collapsed onto the chair. Lydia was safe. Jane, Mary, and Kitty were safe. They all were. He’d not hurt anyone ever again. She could visit Charlotte freely. She could read novels and take solitary walks once more. It would be terribly improper if she appeared happy, and the forms should be observed. Elizabeth attempted to be serious. “How did it happen?” Elizabeth asked with far too much smile in her tone. The stable master had gone out to look for the master after Mr. Collins’s horse wandered home alone. The broken remains of his earthly dwelling place were found two hundred yards down the road from the manor house. The apothecary and several local gentlemen, among them her Uncle Phillips, noisily arrived and woke the rest of the household. When she entered the room, Mrs. Bennet threw herself on the body of her son-in-law with sincere tears. Elizabeth would never forgive her mother. Soon the rest of the neighborhood arrived, and the house became quite crowded. Everyone was all that was kind and sympathetic to the family, but no one grieved. Mr. Collins had not been well-liked; most had noticed there was something amiss in his treatment of Elizabeth, and his manners did not create fondness. Only Mrs. Bennet wept. When Charlotte Lucas arrived wearing a hastily thrown on morning gown and a heavy woolen shawl, Elizabeth flashed her friend a half smile. Sitting next to his body and attempting to appear sad was the oddest experience Elizabeth had ever had. Charlotte ordered Jane to keep company with Mrs. Bennet, then dragged Elizabeth to an empty room. Lydia came with them, and when the three were alone Charlotte embraced Elizabeth and said fervently, “The Lord has been kind.” Elizabeth smiled widely as she whispered back through happy tears, “He has indeed.” Books Included in this Bundle The first five books with the stars next to them are the ones in the 5-book bundle option. *Mr. Darcy and Mr. Collins's Widow (Has Audiobook): Elizabeth is haunted by memories of an abusive past marriage. *A Compromised Compromise (Has Audiobook): Darcy caught Elizabeth when she tripped, and they passionately kissed during the Netherfield ball. *Mr. Bennet's Daughter: When Elizabeth was a baby, Mrs. Bennet fled with her lover and Jane, leaving Elizabeth to be raised by Mr. Bennet. *Colonel Darcy (Has Audiobook): Elizabeth and Darcy were childhood friends.
