A Dash of Darcy and Companions Cottage Collection 1: 5 Pride and Prejudice Novellas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781724684721)

A little scheming, be it by friends, relations, or even a rainstorm, might be just what love needs

While each of the novellas in this collection takes a different path to happily ever after, all have one thing in common. Love is going to need a little push before it will lead each couple down the sometimes bumpy path to happiness.

Finally Mrs. Darcy

When Fitzwilliam Darcy does not return to Netherfield with his friend, Elizabeth Bennet's hopes of ever finding happiness with the man to whom she has lost her heart are crushed. As months stretch into years, hope fades, and both Elizabeth and Darcy settle into life without each other, expecting that their paths will never cross again ─ until one night at a ball when fate, in the form of a new uncle, reunites them

Waking to Mr. Darcy

Fitzwilliam Darcy meant to restore peace to his mind and protect his heart. He intended to escape from Hertfordshire to the safety of London, but when the very person from whom he is running falls into his arms and requires his help, he will be forced to admit that there is only one place where he will find peace and his heart will be safe.

A Very Mary Christmas

Having had her mother declare to one and all that she has lost her last chance at marriage and knowing that the gentleman she wishes to marry only sees her as a friend, Mary Bennet is planning to escape to London. However, her plans run contrary to those of scheming relations.

Discovering Mr. Darcy

Arriving for his annual visit at Rosings, Fitzwilliam Darcy is both delighted and hopeful when he learns that his aunt's parson has a guest. However, when his cousin's attentions are more readily accepted by Elizabeth Bennet than his own, it would seem that happiness is not within his reach except for one thing. Walking away from the woman who holds his heart is not on his aunt's list of acceptable activities.

Not an Heiress

Mary Bennet has always longed for a quiet home of her own -- preferably a parsonage. She has even studied and prepared herself accordingly -- poring over sermons and ordering her life in a most proper fashion. However, prudence and propriety take flight in the presence of Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam while the longings of a heart stirred by love and an aunt bent on seeing her nephew happy conspire to push Mary into the colonel's arms.
