Yours

A Variation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (Romantic Pride and Prejudice Variations)

My heart is, and always will be, yours-Edward Ferrars, Sense & Sensibility

Two years ago, Elizabeth Bennet walked away from Mr Darcy with a broken heart and no reason to expect their paths would ever cross again. Tragedy, scandal, and loss forced her from Longbourn, and her family now lives in quiet obscurity in Yorkshire—until a chance encounter at a winter ball changes everything.

Still reeling from her father's death and her youngest sister’s disgrace, Elizabeth has no desire to marry—especially not to the sort of gentleman who sees women as ornament and amusement. But when she is reunited with Mr. Darcy, the man she once misjudged and rejected, Elizabeth must confront old regrets and new hopes. He is no longer the proud, aloof stranger she once scorned, but a man whose quiet strength and steadfast love may prove exactly what her heart requires.

Fitzwilliam Darcy never stopped searching for the woman who changed him. When he finds her again—wiser, wounded, but no less bewitching—he dares to hope for a second chance. But family pride, painful secrets, and the threat of renewed scandal conspire to keep them apart.

In a house filled with eccentric nobility, absurd relatives, and a meddling aunt or two, can Elizabeth and Darcy find their way back to each other?
