PREVIEW - Now that the book has been published, only the first chapter remains on FFN as a preview. What would have happened if Lizzy did not hear the insult "She is tolerable I suppose, but not handsome enough to tempt me" at the Assembly Ball? How does Elizabeth behave when her own pride was not mortified? This AU version explores the possibilities

Takes place after ww1. The astute reader will recognizes bits of JA mixed with JH. Some angst but I promise a happy ending.

What if Lydia hadn't gone to Brighton, and never eloped with Wickham? What if Jane's letters to Lizzy didn't bring bad news? What would have happened then when Darcy came to call on Lizzy at the inn? A second chance...

A Regency set, Pride and Prejudice AU. What if Darcy and Elizabeth met under entirely different circumstance? Naturally, "The course of true love does not run smooth" but I hope it runs interestingly. My first attempt at Austen fic. *ALL* Comment welcome.

AU: Elizabeth Bennett is called home early from Hunsford due to a family emergency, changing the circumstances of her courtship with Mr. Darcy. INCOMPLETE & on hiatus indefinitely.
