Sweet Possibilities series: A Darcy and Elizabeth Variation (books1,2,4) by Leenie Brown
Requirements: .MOBI reader, 886 KB
Overview: Leenie Brown has always been a girl with an active imagination, which, while growing up, was both an asset, providing many hours of fun as she played out stories, and a liability, when her older sister and aunt would tell her frightening tales. At one time, they had her convinced Dracula lived in the trunk at the end of the bed she slept in when visiting her grandparents!
Although it has been years since she cowered in her bed in her grandparents’ basement, she still has an imagination which occasionally runs away with her, and she feeds it now as she did then ─ by reading!
Her heroes, when growing up, were authors, and the worlds they painted with words were (and still are) her favourite playgrounds! Now, as an adult, she spends much of her time in the Regency world, playing with the characters from her favourite Jane Austen novels and those of her own creation.
When she is not traipsing down a trail in an attempt to keep up with her imagination, Leenie resides in the beautiful province of Nova Scotia with her two sons and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley, and Edmund with a healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tilney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

#1 Matching Mr. Darcy: A Darcy and Elizabeth Variation
He might not want to dance with her, but Darcy’s about to meet his match.
Some people adapt easily to new surroundings and find delight in meeting new people. Fitzwilliam Darcy is not one of them. Being put on display in a room full of strangers is enough to make him quite disagreeable. Therefore, when he attends the Meryton Assembly and his patience is pushed beyond what he can tolerate, Darcy replies harshly to his gregarious friend’s insistence that he asks Miss Elizabeth Bennet to dance.
Unfortunately for her, Elizabeth is within hearing distance of Darcy’s refusal. Insulted and more than a little vexed, she is determined to have as little to do with him as she can and to push him towards his amiable friend’s sister when being in one another’s presence cannot be avoided.
When Elizabeth calls Darcy out for his offensive words and intimates that he is ungentlemanly, he is more intrigued than provoked. He is also determined to prove the lady wrong and sets a course to do just that.
While Darcy seeks opportunities to prove to Elizabeth that he is indeed a gentleman, Elizabeth attempts to be rid of him until his company becomes more desirable than that of a long-time friend and hopeful, though very unwanted, suitor.
Jealousy is never pretty, and a spurned suitor is not always kind or wise. When secrets are revealed and explanations are wanting, it looks as if the burgeoning love between Elizabeth and Darcy is destined to be snuffed out almost before it has begun.
Unless, of course, a meddling matchmaker can pull off a well-timed miracle.
#2 Christmas in Gracechurch Street
He thought he was escaping temptation not placing himself directly in her path.
Feeling himself drawn to the enchanting Miss Elizabeth Bennet, Fitzwilliam Darcy plans an escape from Netherfield. It isn’t until his arrangements are all in place that he discovers Elizabeth has made an escape of her own and is now right where he doesn’t want her to be. When Darcy’s displeased friend finds him in town rather than at Netherfield, Darcy is forced to attend a dinner in Gracechurch Street, the very place where Elizabeth is staying.
For her part, Elizabeth is just as unhappy to be thrust into company with Darcy as he is with her — and for the same reason. She likes him, but she knows she has very little hope of ever attracting a suitor such as Mr. Darcy when he only considers her tolerable.
However, when Darcy accepts an invitation to partake in the festivities of Christmas in Gracechurch Street and when Elizabeth’s sister forms a friendship with Darcy’s sister, Elizabeth begins to hope her feelings of admiration might be returned, while Darcy finds keeping duty ahead of pleasure to be excessively difficult.
Christmas in Gracechurch Street is the second installment in Leenie Brown’s Sweet Possibilities collection of Darcy and Elizabeth variations. If you like Hallmark-style Christmas romances set in the Regency era, then you’ll enjoy this story where duty and love collide.
#4 His Father’s Last Gift: A Darcy and Elizabeth Variation
Will family bring them together or tear them apart?
Before he died, Fitzwilliam Darcy’s father left him one final gift – a set of letters. In them, Darcy has found both great solace and stinging admonition. As the date to receive the last letter approaches, Darcy finds himself taking his father’s words to heart, amending his ways, and considering marriage.
Caring for an ill sister is never easy. Seeing to the safety of a sister’s heart is even more challenging. Doing both, at the same time, is Elizabeth Bennet’s task while at Netherfield. Just as she is assured that her dearest sister’s health and heart are well on their way to being as they should be, a danger – or three – to the hearts and futures of her youngest sisters present themselves.
Spurred by the events unfolding around the Bennet sisters, the friendship between Darcy and Elizabeth swiftly jumps from just begun to what Darcy hopes will be their happy conclusion. Will he be able to secure his future happiness, or will a former acquaintance and Elizabeth’s caring heart deprive him of ever being able to fulfill his father’s final wish and his own deepest desire?
His Father’s Last Gift is the fourth installment in Leenie Brown’s Sweet Possibilities collection of Darcy and Elizabeth variations.
