A sexy, touching romance novel portraying the charming Mr Darcy with a zest of Brazil trying his best to win Lizzy Bennet's love.
A Pride and Prejudice inspired romance novel; sexy, naughty and touching.
Elizabeth Bennett has already suffered a lot of heartache - too much in her point of view - by her early thirties. Therefore, she avoids
relationships and most of all, commitment.
William Darcy would rather spend his time and efforts working on his family's company than engaging on angst filled relationships.
When these two stubborn, sexy and handsome people meet they want the same thing: simply a good time. But what happens when he falls in
love with her? How hard will he have to work to persuade her to love again?
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, as well as feared, that fate has its twisted ways to dispose of our lives."
A novel inspired by Jane Austen's unforgettable characters and their struggle to get together, here in a modern setting where they
struggle to keep together.
With a Brazilian zest to them. It was said that they were too forward, that Darcy would never give Lizzy a kiss on the cheek on the
second time they met. Or that Lizzy wouldn´t drink beer, but wine. Well… these D&E have a zest of Brazil too. Why not?
So they are forward and a bit naughty sometimes. Darcy hacks into her IPhone so he can keep in touch while Lizzy is only interested in
Darcy as a one night stand.
It´s not a retelling, it´s a P&P inspired story.
For mature audiences. Adult content, explicit language.
Excerpt
CHAPTER 1
There is no armor against fate.
Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.
Fate guides the willing but drags the reluctant.
By the time Elizabeth Bennett was brought to her knees by fate, she had already heard several witty quotes about it. Some spirited, some funny and some laden with self-help strategy. Most of them could be applied to her. But none could have prepared her for the abrupt end of her labile marriage, at the young age of thirty.
After that she faced a very tough year and a half, until finally it was time for Lizzy to relinquish the dragging and allow fate to simply guide her again. She knew her friends and family would always back her up. What Lizzy didn’t know was that, fortunately, fate was about to bring her William Darcy.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, as well as feared, that fate has its twisted ways to dispose of our lives.
The ‘Save Elizabeth Bennett Army’ was formed by her longtime friends Charlo Longborn, Dennise Lucas and Hans Gardiner. Her friends’ efforts were fruitful including the hibernation period in Austria. And whatever happened in Vienna, stayed in Vienna: after a fortnight at his home, Gardy did send her back ready to move forward. Everyone sighed in relief, seeing Lizzy return to her cheery disposition. Angry bitchy workaholic crazy-eyed Liz was effing tiring!
Once Lizzy was cured from her belligerent period, the Army’s next strategy was to get her out of her hidey hole. They needed some excuse for her to come home frequently, to leave Boston in favor of Meryton, her small Massachusetts town. Charlo and Dennie suggested a Language course to which she readily agreed, choosing Spanish classes. From Monday afternoon to Wednesday morning, Lizzy was safe amongst her dear ones. What they really wanted was to support her, to keep her close. Secretly, Lizzy knew about their scheme, and allowing it was one more step to her recovery.
It was always fun to have a drink after these Spanish classes with Charlo and Dennie, her best friends since high school. Classmates again, more than fifteen years later, they had a ball every week with this whole language class thing!
So on that summer night, one week before 4th of July, they were on their way to Route 66 - the new texmex restaurant in town - for some marguerites, Sol beers and Lizzy’s favorite: super burritos!
