Compromise and Obligation: A Darcy and Elizabeth Pride and Prejudice Regency Variation (A Pemberley Romance)

Mr. Bennet looked at her over the top of his spectacles. “It is your duty, Lizzy. It is your duty to accept Mr. Collins to ensure the security of the family and to provide for them in a way I cannot do. I must insist that you accept Mr. Collins’ proposal.”

What if Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet both insist that Elizabeth accepts Mr. Collins’ offer of marriage?

Elizabeth is not going to accept. She is certain of that.

Dressed in stolen clothes from a farmhand’s washing line, she sets off to escape the fate she thinks must be worse than death.

But even dressed as a man, the roads are dangerous for a penniless lady alone. Can a besotted Mr. Darcy find Elizabeth in time to save her — both from outside dangers and her own independent pride?
