What if Mr. Darcy had an ambitious, cunning uncle? \u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYears ago, Mr. William Oliver was a different man. He was raised to inherit Pemberley, as Fitzwilliam Darcy. The summer of his thirteenth year, he spent his time sneaking off to play games with a girl named Elizabeth, who was visiting her aunt and uncle in Lambton, just miles from his home. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut all that changed one tragic day when the boy's father fell to his death, directly after they'd had a terrible quarrel. His uncle, Simon Darcy, ushered him off, telling him that everyone would believe the boy had killed his own father, and that he must run away and never come back. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd so, for ten years, Mr. Oliver has lived another life with another name, as a foundling in London, dependent on the employment of his friend, Charles Bingley. He accepts an invitation to the country with the Bingleys and accompanies them to a public ball. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen he sets eyes on Elizabeth, all grown up. He recognizes her immediately, and he is stunned by her beauty. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlso, he is determined that she \u003cem\u003enever\u003c\/em\u003e reveal who he truly is. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis variation adjusts ages to accommodate the idea that Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth could have conceivably been childhood playmates and adds in a few entirely new characters. It could not be termed entirely clean, but there is no consummation until the very end, after our dear couple are happily married.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valerie Lennox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798730292277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.48d","brand":"Valerie Lennox","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800953073919,"sku":"9798730292277","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/finding-mr-darcy-valerie-lennox-9798730292277","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
