Beauty and Mr. Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

Fitzwilliam Darcy is a beast. At least, that's what George Wickham tells Elizabeth Bennet, and she is inclined to believe him. Why, then, is it so hard not to find him interesting and attractive? Is she just another young lady intrigued by a rogue?

Jane Bennet was in love once and has never quite recovered. When the object of her affections returns to Meryton, she is thrilled, until she realizes that the same problem that has driven away all of her other suitors might drive away the man she truly loves.

Mary Bennet is the overlooked sister whose pedantic pronouncements irritate her sisters and drive away the man she longs for. Is there any hope for a happy ending for her?

Kitty and Lydia are the Bennet girls whose giggles and foolish ways make the matrons of Meryton shake their heads. Without real parental guidance, they long for attention, even if means risking their reputations and hope for the future.

Charlotte Lucas has long since given up the idea of finding a husband and having the children she longs for. When an unusual suitor arrives in Meryton, she has one last chance to avoid spinsterhood.


Beauty and Mr. Darcy is a Pride and Prejudice variation in which romance and humor abound! The Bennet sisters' fairy tales intertwine as they each find their very own happy ending, but there is no magic in this retelling. This is a full-length novel of about 125,000 words.
