Darcy's Tempest: A Pride and Prejudice Short Story
Months after Elizabeth Bennet rejected his proposal, Darcy confesses to Bingley that he was wrong about Jane Bennet's affections. He agrees to accompany the hopeful Bingley back to Hertfordshire, resigned to seeing Elizabeth but with little hope of winning her hand. That all changes when a storm strands them alone together. Can Darcy make the most of the situation and convince Elizabeth that he has changed? Or is he still the last man in the world she could ever be prevailed upon to marry?
This alternate ending to Jane Austen's most beloved story, told from Darcy's perspective, explores what would have happened if Darcy and Elizabeth met again in Hertfordshire rather than at Pemberley. At 10,000+ words, it is a short glimpse into Jane Austen's world that can be enjoyed in an afternoon or evening.
