A Wild Kind of Love: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

Book excerpt: She never expected to be afforded such independence… Much to Elizabeth Bennet’s, and her family’s, surprise, a distant cousin bequeaths her his horse farm in Lambton upon his death, assuming she has married a proper husband. For as long as she could remember, Elizabeth has dreamed of having her own land, her own home, and her freedom. But in order to make that dream a reality, she must find a gentleman willing to marry a woman with a mind and a dream of her own… He needs to convince his aunt to leave him alone… Fitzwilliam Darcy was betrothed to his cousin Anne de Bourgh when they were children, but the last thing he wants is to marry the unpleasant, sickly, and humorless young woman. In fact, he is willing to do just about anything to avoid such a miserable fate. So, when he hears rumors that Elizabeth Bennet is searching for a husband, Darcy sees a way that both of their needs can be fulfilled without any danger of uprooting their lives. But when two people with dreams as wild as the summer wind come together to make those dreams a reality, is it possible to avoid falling in love? A Wild Sort of Love is a Pride and Prejudice variation with a marriage of convenience, an unexpected friendship, and a guaranteed happy ending!
