A festive Pride and Prejudice variation novella. Elizabeth Bennet is furious when she discovers Mr. Darcy has removed, with Charles Bingley in tow, to London for Christmas, seeing in it a blatant attempt to undermine the relationship that had begun to flourish between Bingley and her sister. When the Gardiners invite Elizabeth and Jane to stay with them in Gracechurch Street over the festive season, she seizes on the opportunity to repair the damage Darcy has caused and reunite the lovers, little realising her own heart is in danger, and from Darcy himself. Fitzwilliam Darcy acted in the best interest of his friend in preventing an unequal match – or so he thought. Reacquainted with both Jane and Elizabeth Bennet, he is forced to acknowledge his first, hasty assessment of both sisters was utterly false. Can he salvage not only his friend's hopes of future happiness, but his own, before the year is out? This is a regency Pride and Prejudice variation novella.

Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet have finally confessed their true feelings for one another and decided to marry - and not even Mr Bennet's opposition will prevent their future happiness. Their friends support the match, even if Elizabeth's father remains an obstacle, and the group departs to London for Christmas. Caroline Bingley seems to be the only person of their party to recognise the true folly of the match, and will stop at nothing to force Fitzwilliam Darcy to see sense, even if that means involving his own aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, who is surely against such a marriage… Can Darcy and Elizabeth overcome this last opposition even from those close to them and learn from the obstacles they have faced thus far on their journey to happily ever after? The Darcy Decision is a Pride and Prejudice variation, and the conclusion of the Pathway to Pemberley Series.

Sparkling Regency Romance from a Captivating New Voice Lady Miranda Hawthorne acts every inch the lady, but inside she longs to be bold and carefree. Entering her fourth Season and approaching spinsterhood in the eyes of society, she pours her innermost feelings out not in a diary but in letters to her brother's old school friend, a duke--with no intention of ever sending these private thoughts to a man she's heard stories about but never met. Meanwhile, she also finds herself intrigued by Marlow, her brother's new valet, and although she may wish to break free of the strictures that bind her, falling in love with a servant is more of a rebellion than she planned. When Marlow accidentally discovers and mails one of the letters to her unwitting confidant, Miranda is beyond mortified. And even more shocked when the duke returns her note with one of his own that initiates a courtship-by-mail. Insecurity about her lack of suitors shifts into confusion at her growing feelings for two men--one she's never met but whose words deeply resonate with her heart, and one she has come to depend on but whose behavior is more and more suspicious. When it becomes apparent state secrets are at risk and Marlow is right in the thick of the conflict, one thing is certain: Miranda's heart is far from all that's at risk for the Hawthornes and those they love.

Reunited at Rosings… Fitzwilliam Darcy can avoid calling on his aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, no loner, but he can certainly avoid doing so alone. He convinces his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, into accompanying him in an effort to deflect from his aunt's incessant matchmaking, but does not foresee the presence of another obstacle in Kent – the distracting Elizabeth Bennet. Lizzy has enjoyed her time with Charlotte and is planning to return to London to mend matters between Jane and Mr Bingley when fate sends the orchestrator of their great separation right into their path. He is not alone, though and Lizzy finds herself caught by the funny, charming Colonel Fitzwilliam. It should be simple, for his affection for her is immediately clear, yet despite the objection of Lizzy's rational mind, her heart knows what it wants, not the colonel, but his cousin. This is a sweet regency Pride and Prejudice variation novella.

Charade Parade By: Edwin D. Enoch We all are going the same places in life, we just take different roads to get there, and throughout our journeys many of us only get to do what we have to do instead of what we love—“marching to the beat,” so to speak. In this march who we are underneath is not who we display to the world, thus creating the “Charade Parade.” This collection of poetry expresses who Edwin Enoch is beyond the Charade Parade, and he wishes who his readers are beyond their daily charade will connect with who he is underneath and see that his experience may not be so different from their own and they will gain a sense of connectivity.
